It’s good to be Jeremy Maclin.
On Monday, the highly-sought after free agent finally picked his new team when he signed with the Baltimore Ravens over the Buffalo Bills. Maclin signed a two-year deal, but financial terms were not immediately disclosed.
Despite signing a new deal, the real blessing comes from a local Baltimore restaurant named “Jimmy’s Famous Seafood.”
When the Ravens began pursuing Maclin, the restaurant came forward and offered to give Maclin free crab cakes for the duration of his contract if he signed. They then upped the ante and made it 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

Well, Maclin ended up signing and you know he wasn’t going to ignore a free food offer.
Someone brought the free crab cakes to his attention and he responded with a hilarious message on social media.
@JimmysSeafood I read what y'all said…I love crab cakes! Lol

That’s a nice perk of being a highly-touted free agent.
And while Maclin will surely enjoy plenty of Jimmy’s Famous Seafood during his time in Baltimore, it looks like right now he is just focused on getting to work.
