The Baltimore Ravens and kicker Justin Tucker have agreed on a four-year contract, the team announced Friday.The deal is worth $16.8 million and includes a $6 million signing bonus and $10.8 million in guaranteed money, a source told ESPNs Adam Schefter.Tucker, the second-most-accurate kicker in NFL history, received the Ravens franchise tag worth $4.572 million on Feb. 26 and signed it on March 4.Tucker also becomes the NFLs highest-paid kicker in terms of guaranteed money. His $10.8 million tops the $10.1 million guaranteed that the?New England Patriots Stephen Gostkowski?received last July.Justin has become a cornerstone for our team, and we are happy to get this contract completed, Ravens general manager and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome said in a written statement. What is good for the Ravens right now is that we have our Pro Bowl special teams group - Sam [Koch], Morgan [Cox] and Justin - signed through the next three seasons.Baltimore has a history of using the tag to extend negotiations. Before Tucker, the past four players (cornerback Chris McAlister in 2003, linebacker Terrell Suggs in 2008, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata in 2011, running back Ray Rice in 2012) tagged by Baltimore signed long-term deals after receiving the tag.Tucker, 26, has converted 87.8 percent of his field goal attempts, which ranks second to only Dallas Dan Bailey (90.6 percent) in NFL history.Tuckers 130 field goals and 529 points since entering the NFL in 2012 are second only to Gostkowski (135 field goals, 618 points) in that span. However, Tucker is coming off the roughest season of his four-year career, converting a personal-low 82.5 percent of his field goal attempts.He had a decisive kick in overtime or with no time remaining in regulation in three of the Ravens five wins. Hes also connected on 12 of his past 13 field goals (92.3 percent), and his touchback percentage on kickoffs (85.1 percent) was second in the NFL.Tucker, who went undrafted, never received a signing bonus as a rookie and made minimums in 2012 ($390,000), 2013 ($480,000) and 2014 ($570,000). He was a restricted free agent last season who got a second-round tender at $2.356 million.ESPN Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley contributed to this report.

Azalea Stakes (Race 4) Purse: $100,000 7 Furlongs 3-Year-Old Fillies StakesDearest, the days best, undefeated from six to seven furlongs and hard to look past once again if able to secure similar stalking trip off speedy Ballet Diva as she did in the Royal Palm. Curlins Approval a very impressive debut winner and well drawn outside. Worked well, galloped out strong on 6/26 with Jaramillo aboard but no surprise hell remain loyal to preferred choice today. Twirl Girl a dangerous looking shipper from Ky. who comes off arguably her best yet although will have to improve quite a bit on the Beyer scale to catch up to the favorite.1. Dearest 2. Curlins Approval 3. Twirl GirlMiesques Approval Stakes (Race 6) Purse: $75,000 1-1/16 Miles 3-Year-Olds & Up StakesAire Bueno steadied a couple of times in traffic, did well to come on to finish second behind Grand Isle when pair met, this distance, on 6/16 and eligible to reverse the decision if getting first run on that rival today as he figures to do in a field lacking much in the way of any real speed other than longshot Star Contender. Grand Isle, like preferred one, in peak form at the present time, can surely take another with the right trip. Hammers Terror another who didnt get the cleanest of trips when outfinished by Xaverian as even money choice in the Raymond Earl with both key contenders as well in this very evenly matched bunch.1.

Lures Castellano. Lots to like. Cinderela El Crome another who impressed on graduation day albeit over a wet track. Worked swift half for this last weekend.1. Three Rules 2. Francesco Appeal 3.

Barn in a bit of a drought right now but should right the ship if away cleanly from the fence. Discreet Angel an intriguing sort. Was a Group 1 winner prior to coming to U.S., had a rough trip while also catching wet track in Maryland, showed big speed in the a.m. upon shipping here from N.Y. Could be a sleeper if top one not up to his best. Rated R Superstar comes off arguably his best effort yet and would surely benefit if the top two hook up in some sort of early duel while also in receipt of 6 lbs. from both those rivals. Figures to be coming best of all at the end1. Awesome Banner 2. Discreet Angel 3. Rated R Superstar ' ' '
