Baltimore Ravens impending free agent linebacker Paul Kruger wants to stay with the Ravens.

He has went so far to say that the decision is not up to him. He just played the final game of his rookie deal that saw him make $615,00 during the 2012 campaign.

"I just have to let it happen and let my agent do his job. I would love to be here, but it's not up to me," said Kruger. "I've never been through the process before."

If he reaches free agency, he is expected to command a long-term deal worth $35-40 million. He is coming off of a 13.5 sack season, including the postseason.

The Ravens may not have the money to keep him if they reach a long-term deal with Flacco in the neighborhood of $20 million per season.
