BALTIMORE (AP) -Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs has agreed to terms on a six-year contract, a deal that provides a long-term solution to his unsettled status as the team’s franchise player.
Suggs has been the Ravens’ franchise player for the past two seasons. The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder had until 4 p.m. Wednesday to work out a deal or face being stuck with the franchise tag for another year.
During his six years with the Ravens, Suggs has 53 sacks and has not missed a game. The former first-round pick also had a team-high four sacks in the playoffs last season.
The three-time Pro Bowl selection is considered one of the best pass-rushers in the league, but he’s also returned two interceptions for touchdowns.
Had Suggs not signed, he would have played the season at $10.17 million and become a free agent next season.
