The Baltimore Ravens have re-signed defensive back Lardarius Webb to a three-year deal, according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports first reported the two sides were close to agreeing to a deal April 6.
Webb, 31, was drafted in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Nicholls State and has spent the previous eight seasons in Baltimore. Webb played cornerback his first seven years with the Ravens, but shifted to safety prior to the 2016 season. Webb will return as the Ravens' fifth or sixth defensive back, according to Zrebiec. Tony Jefferson and Eric Weddle will start at safety, while Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carr and Tavon Young are all expected to get a lot of time at cornerback.
Webb has played in 111 games during his career, intercepting 13 passes. He was cut in March to create $5.5 million in cap space, but ultimately returned at what is almost certain to be a less strenuous cap hit.
