Report: Roquan Smith, Ravens Agree to 5-Year, $100m Contract as NFL's Top-Paid ILB

The Baltimore Ravens didn't wait until the offseason to extend linebacker Roquan Smith's stay.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday the two parties agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract that includes $60 million guaranteed. It's the most money paid out to an off-ball linebacker.

His $20 million average salary takes him ahead of the Indianapolis Colts' Shaquille Leonard ($19.7 million).
