Three years ago, Austin Howard signed a five-year, $30 million deal with the Oakland Raiders.
He didn’t make it to the fourth year.
The Raiders released the offensive tackle on July 28, just more than two months ago. In a long Instagram post that morning, Howard said it was upsetting that “business gets in the way of a good thing.”
Well, this Sunday, Austin will return to Oakland with a good thing now going in Baltimore.
After signing a three-year contract with the Ravens, Howard is among the top offensive tackles in the NFL through the first quarter of the season, according to grades by Pro Football Focus.
