When shopping the free agent market, the Baltimore Ravens typically hit their mark. They’re not known for gross overpays as they scramble to build a team through paying top dollar. That’s also not the case for Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine, who called Alejandro Villanueva’s contract the worst for the Ravens “a rare example of Baltimore taking a gamble on a veteran.”
“The Ravens signed Villanueva after trading Orlando Brown Jr. to the Kansas City Chiefs. They brought him in to be a stopgap at right tackle, but they might have been better off going with a younger option that at least had some upside,” Ballentine wrote.
