“Baltimore I’m back well I never left lol #Ravens,” Rice tweeted Monday.

The Ravens drafted Rice out of Rutgers in the second round of the 2008 NFL draft.

“This is another example of Steve Bisciotti’s commitment to the team and to our fans to retain our core players,” Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “Ray has been an integral part of us earning the playoffs in each of his four seasons. His production on the field speaks for itself, and his leadership in the locker room is outstanding.”

The 25-year-old Rice rushed for 1,364 yards and 12 touchdowns on 291 attempts last season. He also caught 76 passes for 704 yards and three touchdowns.
