Ravens Bringing Back OL John Simpson On Three-Year Contract

Ian Rapoport reports that the Ravens are signing OL John Simpson, who had a previous stint with the team, to a three-year, $30 million contract.

Simpson, 28, was a two-year starter at Clemson and earned All-American honors before the Raiders traded up with the Lions to select him with the No. 109 pick in the 2020 NFL draft. 

Simpson signed a four-year, $4,094,373 rookie contract that includes a $799,373 signing bonus with the Raiders. He still had one year beyond 2022 remaining on his contract when the Raiders cut him. 

From there, Simpson caught on with the Ravens’ practice squad and was part of the active roster in 2023. He became an unrestricted free agent and signed a two-year, $18 million deal with the Jets.

In 2025, Simpson appeared in and started in all 17 games for the Jets.
