The Baltimore Ravens weren't the only ones in Baltimore that badly wanted receiver Jeremy Maclin to sign with them. Jimmy's Seafood, located in Baltimore, owes Maclin free crab cakes because he signed with the Ravens.
On June 7, they offered Maclin free crab cakes to Maclin for as long as he was is a Raven:
Dear @jmac___19,
Free crab cakes for the length of your deal if you sign with the @Ravens.
Shake on it. 🤝

The next day, Jimmy's Seafood was losing patience, upping the offer to free crab cakes for life.
You drive a hard bargain, Mr. Maclin. We'll up the offer to free crab cakes for life. Now sign already! 📋 pic.twitter.com/XVjwjwZhHS

It took five days, including a weekend wedding, for Maclin to decide. But he decided on the Ravens (and Jimmy's Seafood). It took less time for Maclin to let Jimmy's Seafood know he expects some free crab cakes, as he tweeted at Jimmy's Seafood less than 30 minutes after the announcement that he was signing with Baltimore.
@JimmysSeafood I read what y'all said…I love crab cakes! Lol

Not surprisingly, Jimmy's Seafood is living up to their word.
We are crabs of our word! https://t.co/4TFnR8HLkt

Not a bad signing bonus for the Ravens' new receiver.
