BALTIMORE (AP) — Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs signed a six-year, $63 million contract Wednesday, making him the highest-paid linebacker in NFL history.
The contract, which assures him $38 million in guaranteed money, provides a long-term solution to Suggs’ unsettled status as the team’s franchise player.
“I’m looking forward to showing them that they didn’t make a mistake and they got the right guy,” said Suggs, the Ravens’ franchise player for the past two seasons.
No long-term deal for Peppers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The deadline for the Carolina Panthers to strike a long-term deal with franchise defensive end Julius Peppers passed without a deal.
Peppers will now play under a one-year contract worth at least $16.7 million, creating the prospect for another offseason of uncertainty next year.
“Both sides tried,” agent Carl Carey said. “Julius feels good about the one-year deal.”
