Marshal Yanda told reporters, including Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun (on Twitter), that he’s not worried about working out a new contract with the Ravens.
“We’ll get it done when we get it done,” Yanda said.
The 30-year-old is entering the final season of his contract, a five-year, $32MM deal signed in 2011. Yanda’s +43.8 Pro Football Focus grade (subscription required) placed him atop the guard rankings in 2014 and was nearly double that of the next highest guard. Recently, PFR’s Dallas Robinson looked at Yanda and left guard Kelechi Osemele as extension candidates. Here’s more from the North divisions..
- Dan Pompei of WSCR-AM (on Twitter) says it’s pretty evident that Antrel Rolle is going to give the Bears something they have not had in a long time. The Bears signed the veteran safety to a three-year deal this offseason.
- Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta hasn’t been cleared yet by doctors and won’t participate in the team’s minicamp or training camp until he is, Zrebiec tweets.
- Ravens veteran Terrell Suggs told reporters, including Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun (on Twitter), that it is “weird” not having defensive tackle Haloti Ngata around. Ngata, of course, was traded to the Lions, who were in need of a replacement for Ndamukong Suh.
