Zuttah was acquired in a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, one that had the Ravens give up a 2015 fifth-round draft pick.

Speaking to The Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson shortly after the deal, Zuttah said he was excited about what's ahead with the Ravens.

"This can be an outstanding change for me," Zuttah told The Baltimore Sun on Sunday after the trade was completed. "It will be a great new start. I just want to win a championship. The Baltimore Ravens, just saying the name, it holds weight. When you say the team name, they have a very positive image and a great reputation. I'm very excited."
