OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Matthew Judon did his best to play coy when asked if this season felt any different because it's his contract year.
"You know what’s different about this year?" Judon said. "I don’t have braces on."
This is timely news for Judon because he'll soon have a million reasons to smile.
History says Judon will get paid handsomely. The last three Ravens draft picks who recorded at least 15 sacks with the team totaled $48.5 million in guaranteed money in free agency.
And history says there's a chance he'll leave.
