The #Ravens have agreed in principle to a six-year deal with cornerback Lardarius Webb, according to a source.

Excellent news.

Doesn't seem like it does much for the cap space this year though, haha.

Jeff Zreibec tweeted it, but suprisingly, no one else has reported it yet...Maybe just not fully confirmed yet?

Anyone else find it interesting that Webb's deal is done before Rices?

Words cant describe how great this news is.. :D I'll let beavis and butthead do it.

Great news.

Almost as great as having Webb here long term is that we no longer have to read posts by the panic monkey's worried that some team was going to sign him as a RFA.

Not really...CB market is much different than RB market. Webb is a top caliber CB, but probably can't put himself in top 5 CBs. Top 10 maybe, but not in the company of Revis or Nnamdi. When he doesn't expect that type of contract, much easier for Ozzie to find the number that works for both.

Rice's deal will be big. It's going to take someone conceding some ground before they can even start to mash out the final numbers.

I got one thing to say about that!

Hopefully this will light a fire under Ozzie's ass to sign more players a year early before they have to use the tag on them...*cough* Kruger *cough* Torrey *cough* Pitta *cough*

According to Aaron...

5 years, $50 million with a $10 million signing bonus.

Webb is set to make $18 million in the first two years of the deal, $25.5 million in the first three years, $33.5 million in the first 4

This makes my day.

Overall, of any Raven player ever, Webb's development impresses me the most, b/c he hasn't even had a full/regular off-season yet to refine his craft.
(2009 doesn't really count and he was transitioning from FS to boot, 2010 was all rehab, and 2011 was shortened by the lock-out).
