OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) - The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to terms with middle linebacker Ray Lewis on a multiyear contract.
The Ravens also reached an agreement on a three-year deal with Minnesota Vikings' six-time Pro Bowl center Matt Birk.
"We have an agreement in principle with Ray Lewis," Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne said. "It will allow Ray to finish his career as a Raven. Matt Birk agreed to a three-year contract, which will be signed in the morning."
The 10-time Pro Bowl pick had three interceptions and two fumble recoveries last season.
Birk replaces last year's starting center, Jason Brown, who signed a five-year, $37.5 million contract with the St. Louis Rams.
Lewis earned his 10th Pro Bowl this season after leading the NFL's second-ranked defense with 160 tackles. He also had 3 1/2 sacks, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries.
