Terrell Suggs is the highest paid linebacker in NFL history


The Baltimore Ravens made linebacker Terrell Suggs the highest paid linebacker in NFL history by signing him to a huge $63 million, 6-year deal on Wednesday.

“I’m looking forward to showing them that they didn’t make a mistake and they got the right guy,” Suggs said.

The Ravens are hoping Suggs can continue to be one of the top pass rushers in the league.

“Securing Terrell for six seasons gives us a premier pass-rusher whose ability to stop the run does not get enough credit,” Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said.

Suggs is a 6-year veteran, but he’s still ony 26-years old.

“This will be Suggs’ seventh season, and he is still a young player,” Newsome said. “Remember, he came to us as a 20-year old rookie after his junior year in college. This is a good day for the Ravens franchise.”

He’s a great player, but no defensive player is worth that much money.
