The Ravens and Terrell Suggs have until July 15th to come to terms on a long-term contract.
If the two parties don't meet the deadline, the linebacker will have to settle for the tendered one-year, $8.3 million deal that comes along with Baltimore's franchise tag.
"I feel like we're getting close," Suggs said via the team's official website. "Negotiations are going on with the Ravens."
