For the second straight day, a 2009 franchise player agreed to terms on a six-year, $63 million deal.

On Tuesday, it was Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel.  Today, it's Ravens linebacker/defensive end Terrell Suggs.

[UPDATE:  A league source tells us that Suggs deal is actually worth "only" $62.5 million over six years.]

Suggs also will receive $38 guaranteed.

His signing and option bonuses of $33 million are the highest that any defensive player ever has received.

Also, he'll earn more than $40 million in the first two years -- with zero deferrals.  All of the $40 million will be paid out by December 2010.

Don't blame the Ravens for wanting to keep him around, good investment.

he is one of the best linebackers, but thats just it hes one of the best not the best so i'm not sure he deserves to be the highest payed linebacker. But i guess since the ravens were able to keep him by giving him all that money it might be worth it.
