The Ravens have agreed to sign Shane Ray, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter). The edge rusher’s deal is pending a physical, which may be more than a formality given his history.
Ray has missed 13 games over the last two seasons with the Broncos due to various injuries. The LB/DE, who turns 26 on Saturday, hasn’t exactly lived up to his draft pedigree, but he has shown flashes of promise. The former first-round pick amassed four sacks as a reserve in his rookie season and tallied a career-high eight sacks in 2016.
Despite the setbacks, Ray drew interest from a handful of other teams this offseason, including the Seahawks, Colts, and Raiders. The Ravens arguably needed him more than any of those clubs after losing 2018 sack leader Za’Darius Smith to the Packers and all-time franchise sack leader Terrell Suggs to the Cardinals.
Hey Zach, Please correct me if I’m mistaken but isn’t Terrell Suggs about 75 sacks off of the all-time leader which I believe is Bruce Smith
Hey Zack, Please correct me if I’m mistaken but wasn’t that 2018 sack leader Aaron Donald?
He meant Ravens all time sack leader is Suggs and Ravens team leader in sacks last season was Smith.
Yeah man twotequila sunrises this morning and I was out of it
Stocking up on trash I see.
Hes a great players when he plays. Hes one of the last players from that SB team to leave.
Yea when Ray is healthy, he is a hell of a player. He should stay healthy since we will rotate the linebackers.
