Ravens Placing Franchise Tag on Suggs

by Ben Cook on February 17, 2009

The Baltimore Ravens are prepared to use their franchise tag on Terrell Suggs again this year if they can’t reach a deal with the free agent before Thursday’s 4 pm deadline.

Suggs would receive a guaranteed salary of $10.2 million for the coming year and has expressed a desire to stay in Baltimore, suggesting fellow free agents Ray Lewis and Bart Scott should give the Ravens a “hometown discount” to keep the vaunted defense together.

Suggs made his third Pro Bowl appearance this year, led the team in sacks, and is still just 26 years old.
