In a surprise move, the Baltimore Ravens reached agreement with former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh on a one-year, $855,000 deal, according to league sources.

Seattle still owes Houshmandzadeh $6.15 million, meaning the receiver will make a total of $7 million this season.

Houshmandzadeh had multiple opportunities but ultimately decided to join a team in the same division as the team that drafted him -- the Cincinnati Bengals.

Houshmandzadeh now will join a stable of wide receivers that includes Anquan Boldin, Derrick Mason and Donte Stallworth.

Baltimore now will have to shed one player from its roster.

I think T.J. will make a nice addition there.

Maybe they'll finally have an explosive offense there this year.

If TJ had been traded there early in the offseason instead of being released and picked up this late, I would have had them in the AFC Championship game with Indy.

I hope so.

I'm glad he's not in the division

I originally had picked Baltimore, but their secondary is so banged up I switched it to Indy to win the AFC Championship.
