Suggs: Deal close

Jul 15, 2009

As today's deadline approaches, LB Terrell Suggs remains optimistic that a long-term deal can be reached with the Ravens.

"Like I said before, it's just some minor things that both sides can compromise on and get an agreement," Suggs told The Baltimore Sun Tuesday. "I'm not stressing out over this because I've always thought there are only two things that can happen: We either get a deal done or we don't."

The NFL deadline for teams to sign their franchise players to multiyear deals is 4 p.m. today. If the Ravens fail to do so, a new contract can't be signed until after the season and Suggs will earn $10.2 million this year under the tag.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
