The Baltimore Ravens have signed guard Kevin Zeitler to a three-year deal, according to multiple reports.

Per NFL insiders Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, the deal is worth $22 million and includes $16 million in fully guaranteed money.

Zeitler, 31, spent the past two seasons with the New York Giants, but was released by the club last week in a cap-clearing move. The Ravens wasted no time scooping up one of the top guards available in an effort to shore up more protection for quarterback Lamar Jackson.

This signing also marks Zeitler's return to the AFC North -- a first-round draft pick by Cincinnati in 2012, Zeitler suited up for the Bengals for five seasons before joining the Cleveland Browns for two.
