The Baltimore Ravens signed standout defensive tackle Justin Madubuike to a four-year contract extension, general manager Eric DeCosta announced Friday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the four-year deal is for $98 million. The deal reportedly includes $75.5 million in total guarantees and $53.5 million at signing.
"We are pleased to announce a four-year extension with Justin Madubuike,” DeCosta said in a team-released statement. “Justin is one of the best defensive tackles in the entire NFL and a cornerstone on our defence.
"We are thrilled for Justin and his family and equally happy for our fanbase. This is a great way to start the new league year!"
Madubuike, 26, posted career bests in tackles (56), sacks (13), tackles for loss (12) quarterback hits (33) and forced fumbles (2) last season.
He was named to his first Pro Bowl and was also named a second-team All-Pro.
