The Baltimore Ravens and linebacker Roquan Smith have agreed in principle to a massive deal, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It’s a five-year, $100 million contract that includes $45 million fully guaranteed and $60 in total guarantees. Smith now becomes the highest-paid linebacker in NFL history.
The Ravens acquired Smith at the trade deadline and his impact on the team and defense has been tremendous. His leadership skills and play on the field have made everyone around him better, especially fellow linebacker Patrick Queen. Hopefully the Ravens can keep the duo together.
