Inks extension
Pierce and the Ravens agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million extension Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old has spent six of his seven years in the NFL with the Ravens, and he'll remain in Baltimore through the 2025 season after inking an extension Saturday. Pierce has been having one of the best seasons of his career thus far, appearing in all 16 of the Ravens' games and recording 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also deflecting two passes. Expect the 355-pound nose tackle to continue being a major part of Baltimore's run defense for years to come.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Week 9 return expected
Pierce, currently sidelined by an elbow injury, is expected to play Sunday against Baltimore, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pierce has missed each of the team's last three games with the injury. Prior to getting hurt, Pierce had recorded two sacks and nine tackles while playing around 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps. If he were to return Week 9, Pierce would provide a boost to a Vikings defensive front that will be looking to slow down a run-heavy Ravens offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
Pierce signed a three-year, $27 million contract in March 2020, but he later opted out of the 2020 season due to concerns about his asthma. He and Dalvin Tomlinson should form one of the better interior run-stuffing duos in the league, with Sheldon Richardson likely coming off the bench to provide a pass rush. The 28-year-old Pierce had 151 tackles but only 3.5 sacks in four seasons with the Ravens, mostly serving as a nose tackle on early downs.
