Journeyman defensive tackle John Jenkins achieved something he hasn’t in his entire 13-year career: a contract extension. The Ravens announced the extension on Friday.

A former third-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2013, Jenkins has bounced around the league with seven teams, signing 11 different one-year contracts after his rookie deal. With several question marks along the defensive interior, the Ravens committed to keeping the veteran around.
