Terrell Suggs News & Rumors

Report: "No indication" Ravens will stiff Suggs
May 19
Pro Football Talk
 
"Common sense seemed poised to fly out the window this week in Philadelphia and Baltimore, where each team has a key player who suffered an Achilles tendon injury on his own time during the offseason. The fact that the Eagles and Ravens can refuse to pay left tackle Jason Peters and linebacker Terrell Suggs, respectively, has morphed into a growing belief that one or both will. In Philly, the indications have culminated in a report that the Eagles will at least reduce Peters' pay by what they are paying Demetress Bell, the man who was signed to replace Peters on the roster. In Baltimore, however, there has been no serious suggestion that the Ravens will say "psych!" to Suggs when the time"
Going after Terrell Suggs' money would have ramifications for Ravens
May 19
Baltimore Sun
 
"Though the idea that the Ravens could put injured linebacker Terrell Suggs on the non-football injury list and not pay him all of his $4.9 million base salary during the coming season has picked up steam this week, there has been no indication that it's something the Ravens would consider doing. As of Wednesday night, I was told that there had been no internal discussion within the Ravens' front office about trying to get out of part of Suggs' contract after he tore his Achilles tendon last month during a workout. Could that change? Sure, and the Ravens would have that ability because Suggs' injury happened outside the team facility and not during a team-supervised workout."
A look at the Ravens' options for handling Suggs' salary
May 17
Baltimore Sun
 
"Nearly two weeks ago, when it was revealed that Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs had sustained a season-threatening tear of his Achilles tendon while training in Arizona, we reported that the Ravens could, theoretically, put Suggs on the non-football injury list if he was injured while working out away from the team's facility. By doing so, they could get off the hook for some or all of the linebacker's 2012 base salary. But in the same news story, we also wrote that it was unlikely that the Ravens would go that route. Jeff Zrebiec, The Sun's Ravens beat reporter, just reported that the Ravens have not had any internal discussion to this point about docking Suggs' pay after"
Terrell Suggs, Peters to lose pay?
May 16
ESPN.com
 
"Philadelphia Eagles tackle Jason Peters and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, two All-Pro players who have suffered offseason Achilles injuries that have put part or all of their 2012 seasons in jeopardy, may lose millions of dollars in salary because both fall under the nonfootball-injury provision of the collective bargaining agreement. The applicable wording in the CBA, Article 20, Section 3 provision states: "A player who is placed on a Nonfootball injury or Illness list ("N-F/I") is not entitled to any compensation under his contract while on such list ..." Both players have claimed they were injured during off-site training sessions but league and union sources agree that"
Ravens OLB Courtney Upshaw is ready to compete, but "there's only one Suggs"
May 13
NFL.com
 
"The Ravens just finished up a session of rookie mini-camp here in scenic Owings Mills, Md., and a big topic of conversation was Courtney Upshaw. The second-rounder from Alabama, the Ravens highest draft pick, will be expected to come in and compete. That was the deal anyway. But when stud pass-rusher Terrell Suggs went down with a torn Achilles, putting his 2012 in jeopardy, the spotlight shined brighter on the newest outside linebacker. Upshaw is hoping to step in and earn a spot on the field. But he isn't putting undue pressure on himself. "The coaches told me to come out here this mini-camp and learn the defense, come out here and compete," Upshaw said. "Honestly, speaking on Suggs,"
Day after surgery, Suggs says damage to Achilles was 'not as bad as some thought'
May 9
Baltimore Sun
 
"A day after having surgery to repair a torn Achilles' tendon, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs remained upbeat and confident that he'll return and play meaningful football during the 2012 season. "Everything went good, he was in and out," Suggs told The Sun's Mike Preston of the surgery, which was performed in Charlotte, N.C. by noted foot/ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. "There is only a small incision, and he said it was not as bad as some thought it was, which I had already been told." Suggs tore his Achilles on April 28 during a workout near his offseason Arizona home. He said last week he was't sure how severe the tear was because he saw two different doctors and one said that it"
Suggs has successful surgery; 2012 availability still in doubt
May 9
Baltimore Sun
 
"Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, underwent successful surgery on his torn Achilles tendon Tuesday afternoon, but his availability for the 2012 season remains a significant question mark. The surgery was performed by noted foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte,N.C. "After some recovery time, [Suggs] will begin the process of rehabbing the area," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement released by the team Tuesday night. "We know he will work hard to get back on the field with his teammates as soon as the doctors and trainers allow. We're confident that he can make a full recovery." Suggs said he suffered the"
Suggs could be done for the year with Achilles injury
May 3
Baltimore Sun
 
"Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs will see a specialist next week, but the fear is that he sustained a torn Achilles and could miss the entire 2012 season. "We are contact with Terrell. He will see a specialist early next week, and we'll know more at that time," the Ravens said in a statement. Suggs, who was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year last season after registering a career-high 14 sacks and seven forced fumbles, hurt the Achilles while working out in Arizona. There have been some reports that he hurt it while playing basketball, but that has yet to be confirmed."
Terrell Suggs talks bounty, Ray Rice and next season
March 6
Baltimore Sun
 
"When there was talk about bounties in the NFL at the end of last week, it was only a matter of time before Terrell Suggs's name surfaced. In October 2008, Suggs, a Pro Bowl outside linebacker, said the Ravens put a bounty on Pittsburgh receiver Hines Ward and Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall. A few days later, Suggs said he misspoke and apologized. But once reports came out last week that St. Louis defensive coordinator Gregg Williams had organized bounty systems in New Orleans, Buffalo and Washington, some wanted to know if there had ever been one in Baltimore. Suggs laughed off the suggestion Monday, and said the NFL hasto be careful with this matter. And of course Suggs being"
Terrell Suggs selected AP Defensive Player of the Year
February 5
Baltimore Sun
 
"The award that Terrell Suggs really wanted will be handed out Sunday as the New York Giants and New England Patriots play for the Lombardi Trophy. The Ravens outside linebacker got a nice consolation prize Saturday night when he was named the Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year for the 2011-12 season. The announcement came at the first-annual NFL Honors awards show in Indianapolis, site of Sunday's Super BowlXLVI. Suggs received 21 of 50 votes. "I want to thank the Ravens organization, my teammates, my position coach [Ted Monachino], all of our defensive coaches, and most importantly, the City of Baltimore," Suggs said. "Our fans are the NFL's best. I've always said that I"
Suggs says there was miscommunication before Cundiff's missed kick
January 24
Baltimore Sun
 
"In a Monday morning appearance on ESPN, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs revealed that there was miscommunication on the sideline before Billy Cundiff missed a game-tying field goal attempt in the closing seconds of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game. According to Suggs, some players thought the Ravens had picked up a first down when Anquan Boldin fumbled out of bounds after a nine-yard reception on first down. But the fumble was correctly spotted at the New England 14-yard line. Suggs said there was a discrepancy between the scoreboard at Gillette Stadium and what the officials were saying about what the down and distance was after Boldin's fumble."

Terrell Suggs, Tom Brady put feud on hold heading into Sunday's game
January 21
Baltimore Sun
 
"Throughout the season, it seemed as if Terrell Suggs was making a conscious effort to keep Tom Brady's name out of his mouth. While spouting out sound bites on other NFL quarterbacks, such as Ben Roethlisberger and Tim Tebow, on the Ravens' long road to the AFC championship game, the linebacker randomly tossed in vague references to his longtime nemesis from New England. Suggs once mentioned "the pretty boy from up north," and earlier this month, he commented about "the nephew of God," a nod to a recent "Saturday Night Live" skit where Jesus confronts Tebow about having to bail him out in games. In the skit, Jesus reveals that Brady is God's nephew. Finally, after the Ravens beat the"
Ravens need one more impact-game from Suggs
January 18
Baltimore Sun
 
"Let's get something straight right from the start. I'm thrilled that Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs is stocking his trophy cabinet and continuing to do graduate work at Ball So Hard University. He's fun to watch and fun to listen to and he's clearly got the attention of the people who hand out the hardware to the best players in the game. Monday, he was named 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year by Pro Football Weekly. Tuesday, he was named NFL 101 AFC Defensive Player of the Year, which creates a nice juxtaposition with the NFL 101 Offensive Player of the Year – a guy named Brady whom Suggs will be able to congratulate in person this Sunday. The most prestigious of the annual DPOY"
Suggs still holding out for Super Bowl, not individual award
January 6
Baltimore Sun
 
"The effort behind Terrell Suggs' candidacy for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year honor is beginning to gain steam. The outside linebacker's teammates have publicly supported Suggs, who also earned a vote from Pro Football Talk after his one-sack, one-forced fumble performance in the Ravens' 24-16 win against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday. However, Suggs, who has collected 14 sacks, seven forced fumbles and two interceptions this season, repeated his assertion that an individual accolade would pale in comparison to the possibility of holding the Lombardi Trophy with his teammates."
Suggs makes play that matters most — again — for Ravens defense
January 2
Baltimore Sun
 
"With the Ravens clinging to a precarious four-point lead and the Cincinnati Bengals crossing midfield midway through the fourth quarter, the team needed a big play from the defense. It was no surprise to cornerback Cary Williams that outside linebacker Terrell Suggs provided. Suggs stripped Jermaine Gresham of the football after the tight end had made a short reception, and strong safety Bernard Pollard recovered the fumble at the Ravens' 40-yard line. Three plays later, running back Ray Rice scampered 51 yards for a touchdown and a more comfortable 11-point advantage. "We like to get turnovers as a defense," Suggs said. "The coaches are always forcing that issue, that we have to get"
Seven Ravens selected to next month's Pro Bowl
December 28
Baltimore Sun
 
"The Ravens, who enter Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals as the No. 2 seed in the AFC, could be well-represented next month in the Pro Bowl with seven players being selected Tuesday for the game, including six as starters. But count linebacker Terrell Suggs among the Ravens who have no desire to be in Honolulu on Jan. 29. "To be clear, I have no intentions of playing in the Pro Bowl," said Suggs. "I plan on being in practice with my teammates that week, getting ready for the Super Bowl.""
Harbaugh says he and Suggs had no issues Sunday
December 20
Baltimore Sun
 
"This photo, snapped by Karl Merton Ferron of The Baltimore Sun during the third quarter of Sunday night's 34-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers, was a talker on Monday. It appears to be an animated outburst from Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs directed at coach John Harbaugh after another Chargers touchdown. Asked about the incident on Monday, Harbaugh basically said, "Huh? What are you talking about?" With cameras all over the sidelines -- and with tens of thousands of phones equipped with them in the stands -- we're going to see plenty of moments like this one and like Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's scrutinized spat with one of his coaches earlier in the season. But this wasn't a Jim"
Suggs takes home AFC top defensive honors for third time this season
December 14
Baltimore Sun
 
"Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs continues to dominate the AFC's top defensive honor. Suggs, who had three sacks and a team-record three forced fumbles in the Ravens' 24-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, was named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Week for a third time this season. He has also won the award in two of the past three weeks."
Suggs not interested in personal awards, just 'football immortality'
December 12
Baltimore Sun
 
"It's been difficult to come up with new and interesting ways to describe the effect Terrell Suggs is having on opposing teams this year, but John Harbaugh might have managed to boil the praise of Suggs down to succinct perfection on Sunday. "Terrell Suggs was just a game-wrecker," Harbaugh said, trying to sum up how the Ravens linebacker played in the team's 24-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. "He was a game-wrecker in the run. He was a game-wrecker in the pass rush." The Colts were inclined to agree, especially after Suggs ruined their day by sacking quarterback Dan Orlovsky three times, forcing three fumbles. Suggs also played a key role in holding Indianapolis to just 50 yards"
A look at looming hurdles as Suggs chases Boulware
December 12
Baltimore Sun
 
"Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs recorded his third three-sack game of the season in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. With 13 sacks in 13 games, Suggs has already passed his previous single-season high of 12, which was set back in 2003, his rookie year. Peter Boulware's franchise record is just out of his grasp. Boulware brought down the quarterback 15 times in 2001, a single-season record that is in serious jeopardy a decade later. With the way Suggs has been playing this season -- and these past three weeks in particular -- it looks as if he will likely overtake Boulware at some point in the final three games of the regular season. Here's a quick look at the opposition as"
Suggs' rededication to the game came when his old coach joined the Ravens
December 2
Baltimore Sun
 
"Terrell Suggs heard the critics. He was out of shape. Overpaid. Unfocused. Selfish. In 2009, the Ravens linebacker recorded a career-low 4.5 sacks in his first season chasing quarterbacks with the weight of a fat, new contract extension on his broad shoulders. Two seasons later, Suggs, in the third year of a six-year, $63-million deal, has made all of that talk seem silly, while still entertaining fans and former critics alike by saying his own goofy things whenever the camera flashes on and a microphone gets shoved in his face. But Suggs, who at season's end will likely make back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances for the first time in his career, might not be getting national praise for his"
Suggs establishing himself as one of best players in NFL

Baltimore Sun
 columnist Mike Preston
"The only thing quiet about Terrell Suggs is the way his name is being mentioned as a Player of the Year candidate along with Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Aaron Rogers. He is in the company with some great quarterbacks. When you're a defensive player and you're in this class, oh, your game is at the highest level. Through 11 games, Suggs has 49 tackles, including nine sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions. His play has been so dominant that few people in Baltimore talk about Ray Lewis' toe injury anymore, and the opposition has to game-plan for him. The bigger the stage, the better Suggs plays. When the Ravens play the Pittsburgh Steelers, Suggs is usually the best player on the"
Suggs is just waiting for the handshake
November 23
Baltimore Sun
 
"Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs always puts a unique spin on things and today was no different when he was asked about participating in Thursday night's "Harbaugh Bowl" between John's Ravens, and Jim's San Francisco 49ers. "It's going to be fun, all the politics that have to do with this game between the two coaches," Suggs said. "Regardless of the end result, I can't wait to see the handshake. That's going to be awesome." Suggs, of course, was joking about Jim Harbaugh's aggressive handshake with Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz that resulted in Schwartz chasing after him earlier this season."
Terrell Suggs has had an underrated — but don't call it quiet — season

 columnist Kevin Cowherd
"If we were putting together a list of the NFL's most underrated players this season, I'd put Terrell Suggs right up there. Keep an eye on the big linebacker Sunday when the Ravens take on the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. Because quietly — OK, maybe that's not the word to describe someone who calls himself T-Sizzle — Suggs is putting together another monster season. Sometimes I think Suggs doesn't get his due because of his clown-prince persona off the field. He blasts hip-hop music in the locker room. He mugs for the TV cameras on the sidelines. He shows up for media interviews in T-shirts that profanely mock the Steelers or promote whatever whimsical thoughts happen to be"
Suggs turns up the volume on Steelers
November 3
Baltimore Sun
 
"Terrell Suggs' interviews before Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers games have always been worth a listen, and the colorful linebacker certainly didn't disappoint today. Suggs didn't back off from his statement after Week One that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's [butt] belongs to him. He also pleaded for Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward to play, and called his own team "the enemy of the state.""
Ravens OLB Suggs is gearing up for Steelers
November 3
Pittsburgh Tribune Review
 
"He made pleas to both Hines Ward and the referees that will work the Ravens-Steelers game. He compared Heinz Field to the most famous basketball venue in the world. He said he expects the Ravens to sweep their season series with the Steelers. In living up to his nickname of "T Sizzle," Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs also managed to take a swipe at New England quarterback Tom Brady. "Defense is a means of survival in every division if you don't got the pretty boy from up north," Suggs said Wednesday during a conference call with Pittsburgh reporters. Defense should be a means of survival when the Steelers and Ravens renew arguably the NFL's best rivalry. And Ben Roethlisberger, not"
Suggs primed to become Ravens' defensive leader
September 13
Baltimore Sun
 columnist Mike Preston
"On Sunday, Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs surpassed Peter Boulware as the Ravens all-time sack leader. The passing of another torch to Suggs may not be too far behind. With inside linebacker Ray Lewis in his 16th season, it's only a matter of time before the Ravens find another defensive leader. Suggs holds Lewis in high regard and there is no desire to force him out soon, but Suggs is the heir apparent. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has pointed to Suggs as Lewis' successor, and gave him another endorsement after Suggs collected three sacks to bring his career total to 71.5 in the Ravens' 35-7 beat down of Pittsburgh. "You're talking about some great sack artists that have"
Suggs decimates Steelers as new scheme ratchets up pressure
September 12
Baltimore Sun
 
"It was fitting that the Ravens' 35-7 victory today over their archrival ended with Terrell Suggs' arms wrapped around Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback on the M&T Bank Stadium turf. The Ravens' dominant defensive effort against Roethlisberger, their long-time tormentor, included a record-breaking afternoon for Suggs, who had three sacks, two forced fumbles and five total tackles. The three sacks give the outside linebacker 71 ½ for his career, surpassing Peter Boulware (70) and setting a new Ravens' record. "That wasn't a goal of mine to get the sack record, but then, before you go into it, you are only 1½ away," said Suggs who called Boulware a mentor to him. "I"

Terrell Suggs will be activated off the non-football injury list after passing his physical and conditioning tests Friday, coach John Harbaugh said. The Ravens Pro Bowl linebacker has been reduced to a spectator for the first two practices of camp with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. Harbaugh said he's "pretty sure" that Suggs will practice Saturday, when the Ravens hold their first full contract practice of training camp.

Baltimore Sun
 columnist Mike Preston
"His name is Terrell Suggs, but for the next couple of months they will call him "LeTron James." While the NFL and the National Football League Players Association negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, players are finding other ways to stay in shape because the current lockout prohibits them from working out or participating in minicamps at their respective training facilities. That's where "LeTron James" comes in. Suggs is playing pickup basketball four or five times a week in a semi-pro league in his home state of Arizona. Suggs was in Baltimore two weeks ago, and appeared in great shape. That should ease some concerns over at The Castle, because if there is one player you'd"
Potential Ravens draft target considers himself 'hybrid Terrell Suggs'
March 1
Baltimore Sun
 
"It's debatable which defensive end or linebacker in this draft would be the best pass rusher for the Ravens. But there's no question who is the fastest. Nevada's Dontay Moch set an NFL scouting combine record for defensive linemen since 2000 with an eye-popping time of 4.44 seconds in the 40-yard dash. That beat the previous mark of 4.47 by Alabama-Birmingham's Bryan Thomas in 2002. Moch, the 2009 Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year, is expected to get drafted as high as the third round. He's as productive as he is fast, averaging more than eight sacks the past three seasons. "I consider myself a hybrid Terrell Suggs," Moch told reporters at the combine. "I've been"
Suggs is giving what Ravens have been receiving

Baltimore Sun
 
"Terrell Suggs' choice of apparel Wednesday – the black t-shirt that read "Hey Pittsburgh" at the top with a giant purple Raven offering a one-fingered salute – undoubtedly won't win over many Steelers fans attending Saturday's AFC Divisional playoff game between the AFC North rivals. But the outside linebacker seemed to imply that Pittsburgh fans shouldn't be upset with his shirt because many of those same fans use that gesture to greet the Ravens buses when they arrive at Heinz Field."
Suggs: Steelers, Ravens best teams in NFL
January 12
Pittsburgh Tribune Review
 
"Ben Roethlisberger has won his past six starts against the Ravens, including one that sent the Steelers to the Super Bowl after the 2008 season. But the Steelers' quarterback has also had his nose broken by the Ravens, and Baltimore is where he absorbed the worst beating of his career (nine sacks in a 2006 game). It is not surprising then that Roethlisberger has a love-hate relationship with the Steelers' opponent in Saturday's AFC divisional playoff game. "I hate playing these guys because they are so good, especially on defense," Roethlisberger said Tuesday. "As a competitor, I like playing against them because they are the best." Apparently so are the Steelers. Adding a little spice to"

"Round 3 of Ravens vs. Steelers is Saturday. Pro Bowl linebacker Terrell Suggs said it's more like "World War 3" to the Ravens. On Sunday, after the Ravens beat the Kansas City Chiefs 30-7 in an AFC wild-card game, Suggs said that the divisional-round matchup between the Ravens and Steelers is "personal between the two cities, Baltimore and Pittsburgh." When asked to expound on his comment in an interview with "ESPN First Take" on Monday, Suggs said that for the Ravens, the matchup is taking on biblical proportions. "This is World War 3 to us. This is definitely Armageddon," Suggs said. The Ravens and Steelers split the two regular-season games in their bitter rivalry this season with"

"After sitting out the first two days of practice, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and outside linebacker Terrell Suggs were back on Friday. Suggs wore a black sleeve on his right knee, but otherwise appeared fine. Similarly, Ngata did not seem limited by his thigh injury. Players who were limited Thursday – linebackers Jameel McClain (back), Tavares Gooden (dislocated left shoulder) and Dannell Ellerbe (head), free safety Ed Reed (ribs), cornerback Josh Wilson (head) and free safety Tom Zbikowski (bulging disk in back) – participated. Players who fully participated Thursday – wide receivers Derrick Mason (ankle) and David Reed (torn ligament in left wrist), left tackle Michael Oher (sprained"
Ravens' Suggs supports Harrison
December 2
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
 
"Even the Steelers' enemies are coming to the defense of linebacker James Harrison. And none profess their hate for the Steelers more than Harrison's latest defender, Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs. Suggs even wore a T-shirt to Baltimore's training camp in 2009 that proclaimed, "You Bet Your Sweet A . . I Hate The Steelers." Yet on Wednesday, he charged that the NFL has wrongly targeted Harrison for his play that has drawn $125,000 in fines this season. "You got this guy, number 92 over there, I think he's kind of red-flagged," Suggs said. "Referees are kind of looking for him to see if he breathes on the quarterback wrong. He might get a flag. I think there is definitely some injustice"
Harbaugh continues to defend Lewis, Suggs
September 21
Baltimore Sun
 
"A day after the Ravens' 15-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, coach John Harbaugh continued to assert that neither Ray Lewis nor Terrell Suggs did anything to warrant the penalties that contributed to Sunday's setback. Lewis was whistled for tripping Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer even though the middle linebacker was undercut by running back Bernard Scott and rolled into Palmer. Suggs was flagged for roughing the passer and slamming Palmer into the turf even though Suggs' head was down and the outside linebacker was already off his feet when Palmer uncorked the pass. Both calls led to Mike Nugent field goals. Harbaugh said Lewis and Suggs did nothing wrong. "You try to coach your guys"

"Terrell Suggs' road to redemption begins with one of his toughest matchups of the season. A year that could feature battles against some of the best left tackles in the league in the Denver Broncos' Ryan Clady, the Miami Dolphins' Jake Long and the Cleveland Browns' Joe Thomas starts with the Ravens outside linebacker matching wits and strength with the New York Jets' D'Brickashaw Ferguson in both team's season opener Monday night. Suggs is well aware of Ferguson's powerful frame (6-feet-6, 310 pounds) and impressive footwork. "I think he's a really good, solid left tackle," Suggs said. "He's very athletic, and defending the pass rush is definitely his No. 1 area of expertise, being that"

Baltimore Sun
 
"Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs ranks 19th among the highest-earning American athletes in 2010, according to Sports Illustrated. Suggs will make $24.9 million this year, which comes one year after a career-worst season (4 1/2 sacks). Most of his earnings comes from a $23 million roster bonus in March. He is the highest-paid defensive player and ranks fifth among all NFL players. Tiger Woods is on the top of the list, earning $90.5 million. Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning is first among NFL players, making $30.8 million this year."

Waiting on Suggs
June 9
Cleveland Plain Dealer
 
"Hard as it is for a 6-foot-3, 260-pound pass rusher to disappear, Terrell Suggs has performed a vanishing act this summer at the Ravens' offseason passing camps. Suggs has attended only one camp -- the mandatory one -- and while no one with the Ravens has expressed displeasure, neither team owner Steve Bisciotti nor coach John Harbaugh can be pleased. This is the guy the Ravens turned into a multi-millionaire last July. Bisciotti awarded Suggs a six-year contract worth $63 million -- $38 million of it guaranteed. The deal made Suggs the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL. He immediately rewarded that loyalty with a cheap imitation season of the Pro Bowler he has been. In 2009, Suggs was"

"As Ravens passing camp began Monday, Terrell Suggs saw a clearer path to the quarterback. Last season was filled with obstacles for the Ravens outside linebacker, from the weight of a new contract to the added weight on his body. Suggs finished with a career-low 41/2 sacks and 59 tackles, his fewest since 2003, his rookie season. Now Suggs is participating in his first full offseason with the Ravens since 2007, a sign that he's dedicated to reclaiming his spot among the NFL's top pass rushers. "Hey, it's not expected for me to have a season like that," Suggs recently told reporters. "Rest assured, it will never happen again." Suggs, 27, skipped all of the offseason camps in 2008 and 2009"

"Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs is smiling again these days. He is telling jokes and trading barbs with reporters. He has been attending offseason workouts here with the team for the first time in his seven-year career. Suggs is happy, happy, happy. And so are the Ravens. "I wasn't happy about the way I played last season, it was a disappointing year," Suggs said. "My focus in the offseason is to make sure that never happens again. I want to play like the old T-Sizzle again." The old Suggs had 53 sacks in his first six years and made steady progress as he became a complete player, being named to the AFC Pro Bowl squad three times. And then came 2009.

"The mother of Terrell Suggs' children asked courts this week to dismiss a protective order and a $70 million lawsuit she filed against the Ravens linebacker, and an attorney for the player said the couple is trying to reconcile. On Thursday, Suggs and Candace Williams quietly returned to the Baltimore District Courthouse where they appeared a month ago for a hearing on her allegations that he had struck her and threatened to drown her with bleach.

"This is a playoff game. It's playoff"

Coach John Harbaugh seemed to imply that all three will be game-time decisions, saying, "They’ll be in that probable/questionable mix."

"A woman who says she is the mother of Terrell Suggs' children has filed a $70 million lawsuit in Baltimore County Circuit Court, alleging that the Ravens linebacker abused her on two occasions last month. Candace Williams, 26, filed the suit Tuesday along with a separate complaint seeking custody of their two small children. The cases come on the heels of a restraining order she filed last week against Suggs, claiming that he knocked her to the ground and spilled bleach on her and their infant son. A hearing in that case is scheduled today. Williams alleges that on Nov. 3, Suggs, 27, struck her in the face - breaking her nose - and threatened to kill her. She also claims that on Nov. 29,"
