Ravens add Lawrence

The Baltimore Ravens entered the offseason reeling from the retirement of their longtime defensive leader, Terrell Suggs.  Shortly after the start of the OMFL free agency period, they found his replacement.

DE Demarcus Lawrence was signed to a 4-year contract with the Ravens, making him the anchor of the defensive line.  Lawrence is 26 years old and was drafted in the second round of the 2014 draft by the Dallas Cowboys.  Lawrence has spent his entire career in Dallas and has been quite productive.  In 2016, he had a whopping 27 tackles for loss and in 2017, he posted 12.5 sacks.

In an interesting twist of fate, Lawrence will be rejoining former college teammate Kamalei Correa.  Both were standouts at Boise State and will now be counted upon to lead the Ravens back to the playoffs after a 2 year hiatus.
