Ravens really cleaning up this offseason

[Mobruler]

Fifth arrest of the offseason for the Ravens.  This doesn't include Ravens being kicked out of clubs for being too drunk although the player arrested here was one of them.  No surprise that it's Jimmy Smith, a player who fell in the draft due to character issues.  Ravens don't care though, this is what they do.  Smith is a nice young corner and this is the price the Ravens were willing to pay to be able to draft him so late.
 
 
 

Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith was arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct late Saturday night after an alleged incident at suburban Baltimore bar.

Police said Smith was helping an intoxicated woman in the bathroom of a Towson, Maryland bar when she because nauseated. After medics arrived, officers repeatedly asked Smith to step aside and he allegedly refused to comply, saying several times that he was helping the woman.
Smith became argumentative when they asked him to step into the hallway, according to police. Police said Smith was cooperative with officers after being arrested.
A first-round pick by the Ravens in 2011, Smith was released from custody at about 11:15 p.m. ET after being issued a citation. A court date has yet to be scheduled. The woman was transported to a local hospital, according to police.
A Ravens spokesman told ESPN.com that the team is in the process of gathering information about the incident.
The Baltimore Sun reported the arrest earlier Sunday.
Smith is considered one of the top young cornerbacks in the game. The Ravens exercised a fifth-year option on Smith this offseason, which keeps him under contract with the Ravens in 2015 for over $6.5 million. The team is looking to sign Smith to an extension.
This is the first arrest for Smith in his NFL career, although he had off-the-field issues at Colorado which caused him to slide to No. 27 overall in the draft three years ago.
Smith's arrest continues a troublesome offseason for the Ravens. Other players arrested in the past five months include: running back Ray Rice (felony aggravated assault, accepted into pretrial diversion program), offensive lineman Jah Reid (misdemeanor battery, accepted into pretrial diversion program), wide receiver Deonte Thompson (felony possession of marijuana, charges dropped) and rookie running back Lorenzo Taliaferro(misdemeanor destruction of property, drunk and disorderly, July 31 court date).
The Ravens' veteran players report to training camp on July 23.

Last place in the division

I don't know about all of that.  The Ravens have been doing this for quite some time now and have kept winning.  Flacco is still the 2nd best QB in the division and Harbaugh is still the 1st or 2nd best coach in the division.

I hate how this happens to the Ravens, several times and it's.. "They won't put up with it" or "They'll get it cleaned up" when the Bengals still are felons and thugs over things that happened years ago

The reason the Bengals are labeled felons and thugs is because they add a lot of felons and thugs to their team. I think a 9-7 team could win this division.
