The Baltimore Ravens continue to make splash moves in 2022 free agency as they look to improve their roster in any way that they can. They signed safety Marcus Williams and offensive tackle Morgan Moses on Day 2, and didn’t stop there, as on Day 3 they reunited with outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith on a four-year, $35 million deal that can be worth up to $50 million.
Smith spent the first four seasons of his NFL career in Baltimore, but signed a big-money deal with the Green Bay Packers during the 2019 offseason. He turned himself into one of the best pass rushers in the entire NFL. However, he missed all but one game in 2021 due to a back injury.
The Ravens needed some more juice in the pass rushing department, and Smith gives them just that. The veteran outside linebacker has accumulated 227 combined tackles to go along with 44.5 career sacks. He’s also a versatile chess piece, and can line up in multiple places on the defensive line.
