Webb, 31, has spent his entire eight-year career with the Ravens after being selected by the team with the No. 88 overall pick in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft, totaling 436 tackles, 13 interceptions and 89 passes defensed in 111 games.

Last season, Webb totaled 73 tackles, one interception, five passes defensed and a sack while starting all 16 games in his first season after moving from cornerback to free safety.

Webb has spent time at cornerback, safety, punt returner and kickoff returner throughout his career. He is the only player in Ravens' history to return a punt, a kickoff and an interception for a touchdown.

As a returner, Webb has career averages of 25.9 yards per kickoff and 9.5 yards per punt.

The 31-year-old's 436 tackles rank 14th all-time in Ravens history and his 13 picks are the sixth-most in franchise history.

On Monday, recently-signed Ravens safety Tony Jefferson posted a picture on Twitter showing that he had given Webb back his No. 21, which Webb has worn his entire career and Jefferson was given upon signing with Baltimore.

Jefferson will now wear No. 23.
