The Ravens kicker is hoping to get a long-term deal rather than play this season under a one-year restricted free-agent tender, and Smith decided to deploy his negotiating skills during Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp practice. It was the perfect opportunity with Owner Steve Bisciotti in attendance and sitting alongside General Manager Ozzie Newsome.
Tucker made a case for himself by drilling a 67-yard field goal with room to spare during a two-minute drill near the end of practice. Smith looked up to Bisciotti and Newsome and made the money sign with his fingers.
A few minutes later, Tucker had another long field-goal attempt, but this time he missed a 54-yard kick.
