The Ravens have been impressed with the cornerback’s displays and reward him with a long-term deal, which is reportedly worth up to $48 million.
He told the club’s official website: “I’m tremendously happy. I plan on getting [Super Bowl] rings. For me it was never truly about being the highest paid corner.
“I knew I couldn’t be that on this team and be here just because of the talent already spread around. You have to pay other people, so I knew that going into it.”
Smith has recorded 140 tackles and 5 interceptions in his four years with the club.
