Ravens sign Lardarius Webb to 3-year deal
June 26th, 2009 | by Kevin Hanson |
The Ravens have signed Lardarius Webb, their third-round pick, to a three-year contract.
According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Talk, the deal is worth $1.714 million including a signing bonus of $529,500.
The rookie, who is transitioning from safety to cornerback, was the only player in NCAA Div. I history to have won the Offensive, Defensive and Special Team Player of the Week in the same season.
“Webb is doing a nice job,” said head coach John Harbaugh during Baltimore’s rookie camp.
“He showed a lot of quickness and has a good understanding of the defense for a rookie – but the fact that he plays safety and corner is going to be helpful throughout his career. But it’s going to help us in camp, too.”
Only two Ravens rookies remain unsigned: first-round pick Michael Oher and second-round pick Paul Kruger.
