If you‘ve formerly played for the Baltimore Ravens, chances are you will get an opportunity with the New York Jets.

Current Jets players who have formerly played for the Purple and Black include; CJ Mosley, Albert McClellan, Ty Montgomery, Alex Lewis, Bennett Jackson, and Maurice Canady.

On Wednesday, the Jets signed another former Raven to play out the rest of the season.

Dixon was with the Ravens from 2016-2018 where he had his share of ups and downs. After a promising rookie season, injuries and a four-game suspension stalled Dixon's production in Baltimore.

Dixon, 25, has endured a torn miniscus and a fractured knee among a number of leg issues. 

The Ravens decided to release Dixon in September after placing him on injured reserve.

The potential is there for the former fourth round pick. In his freshman season at Louisiana Tech, Dixon broke single-season records with 27 rushing TDs. 

Collins, the seventh former Raven currently with the Jets, will gear up for a gritty matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers before heading to Buffalo in Week 17.
