From Ravens365

My first reaction upon reading today's update in The Baltimore Sun on Suggs and his contract was to bang my head against the desk a few times.  I gave it a few minutes and decided to write instead.  After recent reports that the two sides were getting close to signing a deal, the Wednesday deadline is quickly approaching and there is nothing in place.  If it doesn't happen before the deadline,  Suggs will once again receive the franchise tag and a salary of $10.2 million this year.

In a bit of news that does make me happy, The Sun quotes the following:

Suggs also disputed the notion that he is looking for a contract similar to the one given in 2007 to the Indianapolis Colts' Dwight Freeney, whose six-year, $72 million ($30 million guaranteed) made him the highest paid defender in league history at the time.

It is time to get this deal done!!!  With a defense in a huge transition phase, stability for a three-time Pro Bowler is absolutely necessary.
