Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce has reportedly signed a two-year extension worth approximately $7.5 million to remain with the team according to Field Yates of ESPN.

Pierce spent four years with the Ravens after going undrafted in 2016 and returned to the team in 2022, but a torn biceps ended his season after three games. He has racked up 36 tackles, a sack, two passes defensed, a forced fumble, and two forced fumbles while starting every game for the AFC’s top seed.

Pierce took a pay cut ahead of the 2023 season in exchange for a chance at free agency in 2024 but now he will not hit the open market.
