The Ravens’ first free-agent visit likely won’t be their first free-agent signing.

Marlin Jackson, the cornerback from the Indianapolis Colts, left his meeting with the Ravens on Tuesday without a contract, saying his visit was more of an exploratory exercise for the team.

Jackson has suffered two serious knee injuries the past two seasons, which has led to him finishing on injured reserve in 2008 and 2009. He was given a physical exam and met with team officials at Ravens headquarters.

The Ravens will continue to look for ways to strengthen the corner position moving into next season. Jackson was a former first round selection but also has endured two serious knee injuries. He also plans to visit with the Eagles and Jets over the next few days.

The Ravens have been in a habit of moving quickly if they think a player can help the team. No deal here to me says that they will look elsewhere.
