Ravens agree to a 3-year contract extension with DL Travis Jones

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a three-year contract extension with defensive lineman Travis Jones.

The Ravens announced the deal Thursday. The 26-year-old Jones has started 27 games for the Ravens since the start of last season.

Jones became even more important to the interior of Baltimore’s defensive front when the Ravens lost Nnamdi Madubuike to a season-ending neck injury. Madubuike’s future is now unclear, but Baltimore is keeping Jones in the fold.

“It’s a great feeling for me,” Jones said. “Really, for me, I just want to take care of my mom, sisters, my nephew and niece, so now I’m in a stable situation to do that for them.”

Jones said he’d like to give his mother a new house.

The Ravens may have some tough decisions to make after this season, but since the end of last season, they’ve re-signed tackle Ronnie Stanley and reached deals on extensions with Jones, tight end Mark Andrews, safety Kyle Hamilton and running back Derrick Henry.

Maxx Crosby calls nixed Ravens trade ‘water under the bridge’ as he refocuses on Raiders

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby said Wednesday he has moved on since his trade to Baltimore was nixed in March by the Ravens, and his focus is on getting ready for another season in Las Vegas. “It's water under the bridge,” Crosby said in his first comments to Las Vegas reporters. "It's a long time ago. A lot of things I learned about what's going on and what this league can bring. A lot of adversity, a lot of different things you can't really anticipate. But I've been through a lot in my life. It's nothing to me. “I'm here and I want to be here and I'm excited to be here. I've got a lot of work to do.” The Raiders had agreed to send Crosby to the Ravens for two first-round draft picks on March 6, but Baltimore backed out four days later. That decision to exit the deal was made a day before the new NFL year when deals can be finalized.
