October 14, 2008 Tavares Gooden has been placed on season-ending IR by the Ravens, according to the AP. He was taken down by a hip injury. Marshal Yanda landed on the IR as well, and Edgar Jones and receiver Ernie Wheelright were promoted from the practice squad as adjoining moves.
Our View:Gooden provided favorable depth at linebacker for Baltimore, but held no fantasy value with five tackles (three solo).
July 21, 2008 The Ravens and third-round pick Tavares Gooden have agreed to a three-year, $1.76 million contract, according to Carroll County Times.
Our View:In college, Gooden recorded 216 career tackles, one sack and one interception for the Hurricanes. He will now most likely compete for a spot on special teams.
