The Facts: Tucker signed his franchise tender on March 4, he inked a one-year, $4.57 million deal with the team, but the two sides still had work to do on a long-term extension. Three months later, that remains the case. "As of right now, there hasn't been a whole lot happening, but there's still time," Tucker said Sunday. "Like I've said before, I'm optimistic that something will get done. It's a matter of when, not if."
Diehards Line:
Tucker has fully participated at the Ravens’ three weeks of organized team activities, and he plans to do the same when mandatory minicamp begins Tuesday. He and the team have until July 15 to work out a long-term contract extension. Tucker said the two sides haven’t had a substantive talk since the beginning of the offseason program.
