Ravens sign rookie Gooden

Ravens signed rookie LB Tavares Gooden, the No. 71 overall pick, to a three-year, $1.76 million contract.
Gooden wasn't a huge playmaker at Miami, but had 100 tackles as a senior middle linebacker and can also play outside. His initial impact will come on special teams. Gooden may replace Ray Lewis or Bart Scott in 2009.
