Suggs expecting a long-term deal prior to camp
Quote:
Mike Duffy of Baltimoreravens.com reports since he hasn’t yet signed his franchise tender, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs hasn’t shown his face in Baltimore all offseason.
But, the three-time Pro Bowler expects to reconnect with the team for the first day of training camp, which officially begins for veterans on July 29.
If he does, that would mean that Suggs and his agent, Gary Wichard, have come to an agreement on a long-term contract extension with the Ravens.
“I feel like we’re getting close,” Suggs said in an exclusive interview with BaltimoreRavens.com. “Negotiations are going on with the Ravens. Fans can be optimistic that I’ll be [at training camp].”
For the second consecutive year, the Ravens placed the franchise tag on the playmaking outside linebacker/defensive end. In 2008, Suggs held out for all of training camp, finally returning to Ravens headquarters in Owings Mills, Md., the day after camp broke.
Suggs, 26, said that he has had a conversation with Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, who maintains that signing the 2003 first-round draft pick is a priority this offseason.
“We’ve talked,” Suggs explained. “There are some minor things we’re working out.”
