Ravens' TE Pitta signs tender

Tight end Dennis Pitta signed his $2.023 million second-round restricted free agent tender with the Baltimore Ravens, the team announced Monday.

Pitta had interest from the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers, according to the Baltimore Sun, but neither team presented Pitta with an offer sheet.

The Ravens would still like to sign Pitta to a long-term deal because he would become an unrestricted free agent in 2014.

Last season, Pitta had a career-high 61 receptions for 699 yards and seven touchdowns. He added 14 catches for 163 yards and three scores in the Ravens four playoff victories.
