The market for free agent running back LeGarrette Blount is beginning to heat up, with three teams showing interest in the past 24 hours. The latest team to say that they are interested in the New England Patriots free agent is the Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Sun passed along the report.

It is a questionable move for the Ravens, who already have Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce, but perhaps it shows some concern that the Ravens have about the punishment the league could be handing down to Rice.

The Ravens interest comes shortly after the AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers said that they would like to bring the running back in for a visit.

Along with the pair of AFC North teams, the Patriots remain interested in bringing Blount back.
