Details of the Terrell Suggs contract extension are beginning to be made public. According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports (via Twitter), the deal will run through 2018, and will reduce Suggs’ 2014 cap number from $12.4MM to $7.8MM. Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports that the extension would be worth roughly $28MM over the course of five years (via Twitter).
The deal includes $16MM in guaranteed money, which La Canfora notes is more than Dwight Freeney or John Abraham received on their new contracts last offseason (via Twitter).
La Canfora calls the deal a “win-win,” with the Ravens gaining short term cap flexibility and the 31-year-old pass rusher securing a long term deal with guaranteed money.
Good move for the Ravens. If he hit the open market teams would have been drooling over him. I would have said NE would be a good option for him and for them, but he absolutely hates the Patriots, and that makes me wonder if he would ever even consider it. Anyways, like I said, good deal for the Ravens.
