Deal with Eugene Monroe will go down as one of Ravens' worst in franchise history

The Baltimore Ravens announced the release of offensive tackle Eugene Monroe on Wednesday, closing the book on the worst deal in the franchise's history.

Monroe was cut just 27 months after the Ravens gave him $17.5 million in guaranteed money. All Baltimore got in return was 17 starts.

If you're counting at home, that amounts to $1.03 million per start or $17,500 per snap over the last two seasons.

At the time, the Ravens were making the right move to re-sign Monroe in free agency. In 2014, Baltimore had to choose between giving a big-money deal to either Monroe or Michael Oher.
