While all the focus has been on getting Joe Flacco a new deal, the Ravens have other work to do as well.

And for what it’s worth, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe says he wants to stay, too.

Ellerbe told WNST Radio in Baltimore (via SportsRadioInterviews.com), that Baltimore had an emotional pull.

“I’m looking forward to making the best out of everything,” Ellerbe said. “The team that I play for, the money that I get, the situation I’m going into and all of that plays into it. I already have a Super Bowl. I want to be in Baltimore. My heart is in Baltimore, I love Baltimore, I love the fans, I love talking to y’all guys and I know I’m not going to talk to y’all somewhere else.”

That’s the kind of good will a Super Bowl brings you, but after the Ravens took a chance on him as an undrafted rookie, he’s more willing to work with them.
