OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens veteran defensive end Trevor Pryce accepted a $2.5 million pay cut during the offseason, and is now due a $2 million base salary.

However, the four-time Pro Bowl defensive end says he can make all of the money back through incentive clauses

Pryce, 35, said he’s not worried about triggering the financial incentives, which are believed to be triggered through playing time percentages.

“Yeah, I can get all of it back,” Pryce said. “It’s very doable, put it like that.”

Pryce was originally scheduled to make $4.5 million during the final year of a five-year, $25 million contract that included $10 million in guaranteed money.

Despite being replaced in the starting lineup last season by Dwan Edwards, Pryce ranked first in the team with 6 1/2 sacks.

Pryce has recorded 90 career sacks, including 26 sacks since joining the Ravens in 2005.
