Ravens OLB David Ojabo signs rookie contract, ending training camp holdout

Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo finalized his rookie contract Tuesday, ending a training camp holdout that had made the second-round pick the last unsigned player from this year’s draft class.

Terms were not disclosed, but under the NFL’s rookie salary slotting structure for the No. 45 overall pick, Ojabo’s four-year deal is expected to be worth about $7.9 million. Negotiations had stalled over the guaranteed money in the third year of Ojabo’s contract.

With his deal done, Ojabo can now report to Owings Mills and resume his offseason rehabilitation and rookie-year preparation under the supervision of Ravens officials. Ojabo was considered a first-round talent before he tore his Achilles tendon at Michigan’s pro day in March. In his breakout 2021 season with the Wolverines, he had 11 sacks and five forced fumbles in 14 games.
