Ravens invent position for Suggs
The Ravens and Terrell Suggs avoided a grievance by essentially creating a new position, Suggs' agent confirmed last night. The sides reached an agreement on a one-year franchise tag tender worth close to $8.5 million, which will pay him as a hybrid defensive end-linebacker. It is believed that the NFL Players Association and the NFL management council are finalizing details to sign off on the compromise. The next step is to see whether the Ravens can sign Suggs to an extension, keeping him with the team beyond this season.

It seems fair to me. Suggs had a valid point. Smart move by the Ravens . It was not a lot more money, the player is happy and the Ravens will have him in camp.

It works out for both sides pretty well. Suggs gets more money but not as much as if he had been tagged as a DE and the Ravens get their impact player. I hope they are able to resign him.

BigBlueLube..You could be right, but remember, this had to do with the franchise tag for positions, not a new contract. The average pay by position..I do think there will be some contract issues soon with the Giants though. It is what happens when you win and have good players..still better than losing and having a team of bad players though. seen enough of that..

It's sad that Suggs is that mediocre. Ray is way better at dancing into the stadium than he is at doing his job on the field these days. A shadow of his former self!

Super A-nus,
Didn't realize bloggers get a bad rap. Chill. Just trying to have a little fun. Needed a break from work, and felt like picking on the Ravens.
I wouldn't take this crap too seriously. And i'm definitely better looking than Suggs.

Well Eaglesye, the "shadow of his former self" had over 100 tackles and ANOTHER pro bowl berth last season.
FYI, he doesn't dance into the stadium anymore dude.
and, even if he was a shadow of his former self, isn't that still better than about 95 % of LB's out there ?
ray= 1st ballot HOFer and one of the best LB's EVER.
