Even with the possibility of a big payday looming, Terrell Suggs is doing his best to focus on the field.
Suggs' agent and the Baltimore Ravens have been working on a long-term contract extension since April. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome has said that Suggs is the team's top negotiating priority.
Suggs is also the Ravens' best pass rusher, and he knows the financial rewards will keep coming as long as he keeps getting sacks. He said he added 9 pounds of muscle in the offseason.
"I could be trying to play more defensive end for more reasons than one," Suggs said Thursday.
But money is far from his top priority.
"I'm not worried about it," he said. "I'm happy to be a Raven. Whenever that stuff happens, it happens."
