Ravens finalize deal with OT Oher

WESTMINSTER, Md. — The Baltimore Ravens have reached a five-year deal with rookie offensive tackle Michael Oher.

The deal reached Wednesday ends a two-day holdout by Oher, the No. 23 pick in this year’s NFL draft. The contract is expected to exceed the five-year, $12.55 million deal that last year’s pick at Oher’s slot — Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall — signed last summer.

Oher, projected to start at right tackle, is the last rookie of the Ravens’ draft class this year to agree to terms.
