The Ravens signed punter Sam Koch to a five-year contract Tuesday, continuing the team's aggressive offseason approach to special teams. Koch's deal means the Ravens have locked up two of the league's best specialists before the NFL season is officially over. The Ravens struck an agreement with kicker Billy Cundiff last week. Koch, 28, likely would have been an unrestricted free agent once the new collective bargaining agreement is reached. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but it's believed Koch's deal is less than the one for Cundiff (five years, $14.7 million). "We believe that we have the best punter and holder in the NFL, and we wanted to make sure he stayed a Raven," coach John Harbaugh said. "Sam is a hard worker, a solid person and a great family man. He represents the Ravens and the city of Baltimore very well. I am proud and happy that he will be a big part of where we are taking our team." Source: Jamison Hensley, Baltimore Sun
