OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb agreed to terms on a five-year extension Thursday that includes a $10 million signing bonus and a $5 million option bonus. Webb, who was already signed for next year, is now locked in for the next six seasons. "It feels amazing," he said. "I feel blessed and proud. Now I can relax and play ball and not worry about anything. This settles my mind down." Webb intercepted a career-high five passes in the regular season and broke a team record with three interceptions in the playoffs. He had a career-high 68 tackles and 20 pass deflections and emerged as one of the NFLs top young cornerbacks. "Lardarius is an important player for the Ravens and were very happy he will be with us for a long time," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "We have a good history of completing second contracts for targeted players we want to keep for the long haul." Webbs highlights last season included a 73-yard interception return for a touchdown against the New York Jets and a 68-yard punt return for a score against the Cleveland Browns. He had 30 punt returns for 301 yards for a 10.0 average in 2011. A former third-round draft pick from Nicholls State, Webb also forced a fumble and had 1 1/2 sacks last season. In three NFL seasons, Webb has 164 tackles, seven interceptions, two sacks and 37 pass deflections. Now that Webbs deal is completed, the Ravens still have two long-term deals they want to finish: quarterback Joe Flacco and Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice, their franchise player. The Ravens are also working on a contract extension for restricted free agent cornerback Cary Williams. cheap jerseys from china .

The 28-year-old Keselowski probably wont need a wild card to reach the Chase for the Sprint Cup this year. Hes near the top of the standings after back-to-back second-place finishes at Watkins Glen and Michigan. Perhaps more important, hes starting to show some impressive consistency. "Were in a great position as a team as the Chase is about to start here to make some noise," Keselowski said. "Im just feeling lucky to be there -- but then, of course, we obviously want to win. I can taste the legitimacy of being a championship contender." Keselowski made it to the Chase last year as a wild card, but now hes solidly in fifth place with three races remaining in the Cups regular season. Not only does Keselowski have three wins in 2012 -- tied for the most on the circuit -- but he also has seven straight top-10 finishes, five of which were in the top five. Next up is Bristol, where Keselowski won earlier this season. Keselowski finished fifth in the Cup standings last year, a 20-spot jump from 2010. This year began poorly, with a late accident in the Daytona 500. Earlier in that race, he caused a bit of a stir when he posted on Twitter during a red-flag stoppage. Afterward, NASCAR said it was OK for Keselowski to keep his cellphone in his car during events, and that all drivers were encouraged to use social media. Before long, Keselowski was earning attention for his driving again, with wins at Bristol and Talladega. A victory at Kentucky started his current streak of top-10s. Last weekend, he led at his home states track before being passed by Jimmie Johnson with about 10 laps to go. Johnsons engine later faltered, and Keselowski finished second behind Greg Biffle. "My team has done an excellent job over the last few weeks of hitting their marks, executing on all fronts, no mistakes, solid cars," Keselowski said. "Im very proud of that." Before the race, Keselowskii had said he felt he was at least tied for first in the standings, even though the point totals said otherwise.dddddddddddd His reasoning was that when the Chase starts, drivers receive bonus points for regular-season wins, and the point totals dont really matter. In that sense, it was a disappointment to fall just short of what could have been a series-leading fourth victory. "Those bonus points mean a lot for the Chase, where consistent, solid-place finishes without risking a bad day are extremely important," Keselowski said. "Youll probably be happier with second in the Chase than what you would be here." Keselowski rubbed some drivers the wrong way earlier in his career with his aggression, and after he spent time in development with Hendrick Motorsports, he signed with Penske in the fall of 2009 when a Cup ride with HMS didnt materialize. After last weekends race, when he was passed by Johnson of Hendrick but still finished ahead of him, Keselowski was asked if there was any extra satisfaction to be competing race-for-race with HMS. "Its a terrible way to live your life where you live it looking back at missed opportunities. Im trying to live it where I look forward at the great opportunity that I have now," Keselowski said. "I guess the thought enters your mind that it was never meant to be and this was what was meant to be. That makes me feel very fortunate there was some higher calling in a way. "Its hard to always reflect on that, especially when youre struggling. But Im not struggling now, so its easy to say." Make no mistake, even when he tries to take the high road, Keselowski relishes competition. After Sundays race, he spent a decent amount of time talking about Johnsons No. 48 car, portraying himself as a bit of an underdog. Then he began looking ahead. "Although they might have the most speed, were not giving up," Keselowski said. "Were going to keep em honest through this Chase." ' ' '
