Roquan Smith just got paid.

According to Ian Rapoport, the Ravens have agreed to pay the standout linebacker a five-year, $100 million extension.

The #Ravens and LB Roquan Smith have reached agreement on a 5-year, $100M extension with $60M in total guarantees, per @RapSheet. Acquired in-season from Chicago, the Ravens reward Smith with the contract he desired before he was slated to hit the open market in March.

Back in October, the team acquired him through a trade with the Chicago Bears. The Ravens defense got so much better with him being on the team. They went from being one of the worst in the league to one of the best.

In return, the Ravens sent the Bears a second- and a fifth-round pick in 2023.
