OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Cornerback Jimmy Smith will return for his 11th season with the Baltimore Ravens after reaching a one-year extension worth up to $5 million, his agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
This extension includes $2 million fully guaranteed in base salary, a $500,000 signing bonus and $2.5 million in playtime incentives that are considered unlikely to be earned, a source told Schefter.
Smith, 32, had been scheduled to be a free agent at the end of the season after signing a one-year, $3.5 million extension in March. A longtime starter who has transitioned into a rotational role, Smith was having one of his better seasons before rib and shoulder injuries sidelined him the past two games.
