BALTIMORE — Ravens inside linebacker Roquan Smith doesn’t like to brag. Even after signing a five-year contract extension reportedly worth $100 million, Smith didn’t want to draw too much attention to himself.
When he stood alongside fellow inside linebacker Patrick Queen in a meeting room after completing the deal Tuesday, the former Georgia standout didn’t tell his teammate that he was staying in Baltimore for the long haul. For Smith, it was just a normal day.
“[Smith] didn’t say anything,” Queen said. “We came out of the defensive meeting room and walked into the linebacker room and he just put his bags down and walked into the hallway. Everybody was like ‘Did you sign?’ And he was like ‘Yeah.’
