It was a good day for former Green Bay Packers tight ends on Tuesday.

One day after being released by the Packers, Ryan Taylor was claimed on waivers by the Baltimore Ravens.

The Ravens will assume the contract Taylor previously signed with Green Bay. He is in the final year of a four-year contract and will become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.

Elsehwere in the NFL, the New Orleans Saints signed tight end Tom Crabtree as a free agent.

Crabtree played for the Packers for three seasons from 2010 to 2012 and was a member of the team's Super Bowl XLV team.

In 2013, Crabtree played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, although his season ended on injured reserve in November when he tore his biceps.
