Ravens Sign Second-Round Rookie Mike Green Ending Holdouts

The Baltimore Ravens have signed their 2025 second-round draft pick, outside linebacker Mike Green, effectively concluding their draft class signings amid a leaguewide delay in second-round contracts. Green, who led the NCAA with 17 sacks last year at Marshall and earned several collegiate honors, is expected to sign a four-year deal worth over $7.4 million, including a $2 million signing bonus. This signing follows a standoff in the NFL where agents sought fully guaranteed contracts after the first two second-round picks received such deals, causing a holdout among many second-rounders. The Ravens also placed safety Ar'Darius Washington on the active physically unable to perform list due to an Achilles injury. Across the league, the logjam is easing with several second-rounders, including Alfred Collins and Shemar Turner, agreeing to contracts with increased guarantees, though not fully guaranteed like the initial two. The Miami Dolphins continue negotiating with their second-round pick Jonah Savaiinaea, who may still seek full guarantees, but recent deals could simplify talks and help prepare him for the upcoming season.
