Future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis will remain a Baltimore Raven after agreeing to a new 3-year deal worth around $25 million on Wednesday.

“We got better today. Our football team got better. I am very happy,” general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “This will allow Ray to finish his career as a Raven.”

It would have been hard to see Lewis playing for a different team other than the Ravens.

“From beginning to end as a Raven. … Wow! To be with the same team with the same fans for an entire career, that doesn’t happen in the NFL,” Lewis said. “I don’t think an athlete can have a greater legacy than to be able to stay in one place for an entire career.”

Even though he’s lost a step in recent years Lewis still remains one of the best linebackers in the league.
