Ravens reach deal with second-round pick David Ojabo

By Andrew Kulha | Last updated 8/2/22

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Baltimore Ravens have reached an agreement with rookie pass rusher David Ojabo.

The #Ravens have agreed to terms with #Michigan rookie OLB David Ojabo, pick No. 45, and he’s signed to end his holdout.

Ojabo, who the Ravens drafted with the No. 45 pick in this past NFL draft, was holding out from Ravens' training camp in order to secure his first NFL deal, but it's a holdout that ultimately lasted under a week.

Perhaps one of the sticking points in the negotiations between player and team was Ojabo's health. The pass rusher from Michigan was certainly talented, but the Ravens drafted him in the second round despite the fact that he tore his Achilles at a pro-day workout before the NFL draft.

I know the #NFL is a cold business but watching the lack of concern or empathy from the scouts, coaches and observers following David Ojabo’s injury bugs me. Perhaps someone should’ve checked on him instead of grabbing the ball and moving to the next drill. Just a thought.. pic.twitter.com/28aR88zJfk
