Jamison Hensley of the Baltimore Sun reports John Beck has agreed in principle on a one-year contract with the Ravens and will battle Troy Smith to be the Ravens' No. 2 quarterback, according to a league source.

Beck will be reunited with Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, who was coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2007, when they drafted the Brigham Young standout in the second round. After Cameron was fired, Beck never clicked with the Bill Parcells regime and was released by the Dolphins on Wednesday, just five days after they drafted West Virginia's Pat White in the second round.

It is believed six teams had shown interest in Beck, who will turn 28 before the season starts. Beck is expected to sign early this week so he will be able to participate in the Ravens' first minicamp, which begins Friday.
