Justice Hill was the subject of the biggest news in Baltimore Ravens land on Friday, as the dual-threat running back signed a contract extension. The new deal adds two years, for $6 million, to his current contract.
So, with apologies to Lee Majors and Steve Austin, Hill is now literally the “six million dollar man.”
Meeting with the media today after practice, Hill discussed his new extension and said that the “grass isn’t always greener on the other side.”
Justice Hill said it’s “great feeling” to sign a third contract w/ Ravens. Said it was a surprise.
“I just come to work every single day. I wasn’t paying much attention to (contract). … I’m a Raven, man. This is where I want to be. Grass isn’t always greener on the other side.”— Jeff Zrebiec (@jeffzrebiec) September 20, 2024
Given all the back-and-forth that followed Patrick Queen’s leaving the Ravens for the division-rival Steelers this offseason, there is pretty much only one way to interpret that remark.
On his podcast, Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey warned Queen that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Queen then posted a video of himself watering a green patch of grass.
