4 years, $14 million with $4.5 million guaranteed.  Thats $3.5 million per year

[Mt. Crushmore]

Overall, a very fair contract

It makes me happy...love Jacoby's style, he makes it fun to watch Ravens games. He is no top end WR but MAN he has made some epic plays for us over the years. Just hope we didn't have to break the bank...none the less another solid signing by the Oz man

Overall, a very fair contract

 

Yep.  Very low guaranteed money so if we have to cut him after 2 years, it's no big deal.

[flynismo]

WOW!!!

 

I am stunned. I already resigned myself to losing JJ, who has grown to be one of my favorite players. So happy to have him here for the long haul!!!

 

Just saw the contract details...the FO just hit another one outta the park

Stoked for this one!!!

Wonder about the worth but, seeing as it's like 4 days in from when teams could contact his agent - and we had an offer to him the entire time - that would lend to a team-friendly deal. We'll see but I'm really happy to have Jacoby back!

[Geving]

Not too bad, but still a little too much imo...

[JO_75]

Very team friendly contract....

14 mil. for 4 years, that's a great deal for us. Good job Ozzie.

[beanfigger]

I'm guessing this is the deal the FO put on the table a while ago. Jacoby tested the waters a bit just out of curiosity, but he wanted to stay as long as some other team wasn't going to break the bank on him. Good deal.

Excellent news!

[rmw10]

Cap hit should probably be about $2.13M this year.

If anyone thinks this takes us out of the running for other receivers: 

 

Ravens remain quite interested in WR Julian Edelman. Pats want him back too. Other teams in the mix.

Still one of my favorite players for the team but I was thinking the Ravens were going to move on... It will be interesting to see how the Ravens go at the first few rounds of the draft. We still need a 2nd WR assuming Jones is strictly for returns and used as a 4th receiver. I wonder if the Ravens will look to some of the free agents or possibly Steve Smith when he is released. I think it would be foolish to pass up on some of the receivers in the draft. It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out

[rmw10]

According to La Canfora, we still have heavy interest in Edelman despite adding Jacoby.

[organizedchaos007]

I was close. Good deal

[Tank 92]

Well dip me in poop and roll me in corn meal!  Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!! The Dragonfly returns!

 

Now on to Daryl Smith.

[RichieAsh]

Kubiak gets to work with his son again. We could be building a deep squad.

[Static]

Guaranteed very team friendly deal because Jacoby would be walking if it wasn't. 

 

Called it. Another Gj ozzie.

Why would anyone think that? I think we pretty much gave him good value for a return man with the occasional time on offense type of guy.

You're crazy. He's arguably the best kick and punt returner / deep threat in the league.

[Bravens292]

Our offseason gets better and better. I honestly thought he was gone. Oz and Pat strike again.

[Gtown Purple]

I like this signing as he is familiar with Kubiak's offense and is a game breaker on special teams. Say what you want about his WR skills but knowing that we have a chance to score on any return play is a big factor. I actually like him as an outside WR speed threat and combine that with Pitta over the middle...yikes. I also see us bringing in another FA WR and also in the draft. His contract is cap friendly as the WR market is subdued this year with a deep draft. I really like how Ozzie is keeping his own guys first. Lets get Smith locked up next.

[ravens rule]

Less than 4 mill is really fair no arguing that.

[Tank 92]

 

 

Excuse the exclamation.  It's something I picked up as a wee lad at the race track stables. Pretty nasty to picture I know, but it holds a special place in my heart.  

[ravensdan]

Excellent. The game changer returns. Just as I expected. Harbaugh and Ozzie value what he can do to single handedly win us games. And jones knows the ravens can get him back to the championship game. Sure he took a bit less to stay.
