Unlike his brother Jim Harbaugh, who had to deal with trade rumors this offseason, John Harbaugh has never had reason to question the Baltimore Ravens' commitment to him. The team rewarded him with a four-year extension after the Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII in February 2013 and this week gave him another extension, which will keep him under contract through the 2017 season.

“[The extension] covers years seven through 10 with him,” Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, “and I anticipate he’ll be here longer than 10 years.”
