Marshal Yanda Signs 4-Year Extension With Ravens
It's a bright spot in a season that hasn't exactly gone to plan. The Baltimore Ravens and 4-time Pro-Bowl guard inked a deal that will keep Yanda in purple and black for 4 more years, general manager Ozzie Newsome announced Friday.
"My family and I are very excited to stay with such an incredible organization," Yanda stated. "We feel fortunate to have reached an extension, and I look forward to carrying on the Baltimore Ravens' great tradition. Hopefully, I will finish my career as a Raven."
Yanda, 31, is a nine-year veteran who was selected by the Ravens in the 2007 NFL Draft out of the University of Iowa. He has played in 120 games (109 starts) during his career, which is the third most among offensive linemen in Ravens history (Jonathan Ogden-177 and Mike Flynn-133). He's been a huge part of the team's past 6 playoff appearances as well as the Super Bowl XLVII victory in the 2012-13 season.
Baltimore Ravens season ticket holders voted Yanda as one of the Top 10 players in franchise history as a part of the 20th anniversary celebration.
