13-year veteran Ray Lewis has reached an agreement to return to the Baltimore Ravens after testing the free-agent market for weeks.
The two sides agreed to a three-year contract, worth $20 million to $25 million.
“We have an agreement in principle with Ray Lewis,” Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne said. “It will allow Ray to finish his career as a Raven.”
The long-time middle linebacker is one of the most celebrated and decorated defenders in league history. Lewis is also regarded as the heart and soul of the Baltimore defense, and it was hard to imagine the unit playing a game without him. Luckily the Ravens will not have to do so for the next few seasons.
The deal has yet to be signed but should be finalized in the next few days.
