Ravens sign ex-Dolphins QB Beck

BALTIMORE (AP) -- The Baltimore Ravens have signed quarterback John Beck, who will seek to revive his NFL career after being released by the Miami Dolphins.

Beck, who signed a one-year contract Baltimore announced Monday, played five games in two seasons with Miami. Drafted in the second round of the 2007 draft, Beck went 0-4 as a rookie starter under Cam Cameron, now Baltimore's offensive coordinator. The quarterback did not play in 2008 under new coach Tony Sparano.

Cut five days after the Dolphins drafted Pat White, Beck is expected to compete against Troy Smith to be the backup behind starter Joe Flacco.
