The Baltimore Ravens plan to place their franchise tag on running back Ray Rice on Friday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The 25-year-old Rice led the NFL with 2,068 yards from scrimmage, helping the Ravens win the AFC North title.
He was the only player in the NFL last season to amass more than 2,000 yards in offense, combining 1,364 yards on the ground with a team-leading 76 catches for 704 yards.
The 5-foot-8 running back emerged as Baltimore’s main offensive threat in his second year, when he enjoyed the first of three straight seasons with more than 1,000 yards rushing.
