– Terrell Suggs was told by the Ravens that he’ll be franchise tagged this offseason, which isn’t music to Suggs’ ears. “I’m disappointed because I really wanted a long-term deal, and I think I earned it,” Suggs said. “But this also keeps me in a Ravens uniform, and this is just another way of eventually getting it done.”
