BALTIMORE — When the Ravens introduced new safety Marcus Williams and offensive tackle Morgan Moses at the team’s facility late Thursday morning, outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith’s contract still hadn’t been finalized.
When general manager Eric DeCosta was asked whether the team planned to announce Smith’s deal, he declined to comment. “I think over the coming days, we’ll have more to say on other moves that we make,” DeCosta said.
Now it appears Smith’s reported four-year, $35 million deal won’t be among them. Smith is not expected to sign with the Ravens under those terms, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, keeping Smith in free agency and leaving the Ravens searching once more for pass-rush help.
