In only 20 seasons as a franchise, the Ravens have garnered respect from fans and from around the league as an organization with it's head on straight. While few fans could be happy about how this season is going, few could complain about how the Ravens as a whole treat their fans, their staff and their players. With the announcement that the Ravens have extended guard Marshal Yanda through the 2019 NFL season, it looks like they have yet another Raven player for life.
Under the salary cap and free agency, it is rare for a team to have a player from the moment of drafting them through to the end of their career.
