The Ravens have called a 1 p.m. press conference, at which veteran quarterback Steve McNair will announce his retirement.
It's somewhat of a surprise, although not a complete shocker. McNair had indicated publicly that he was ready to return from shoulder surgery, but he had not lived up to expectations after being traded from Tennessee.
The Ravens have been looking especially hard at quarterbacks in this year's draft, and it's possible McNair might not have beaten out Kyle Boller for the starter's job this season.
McNair is the second high-profile quarterback to retire this off-season. Packers quarterback Brett Favre announced his retirement last month.
