A little over two years ago the Baltimore Ravens signed then free agent tackle Eugene Monroe to a 5-year, $37.5M deal with an $11M Signing Bonus; $19 million guaranteed ($17.5M fully guaranteed: $1.5M of 2016 base salary guaranteed for injury only).
At the time many were surprised by the relatively quiet market for Monroe’s services and concluded that the Ravens landed a bargain.
“Ozzie strikes again!” echoed throughout The Land of Pleasant Living.
Two years later we now realize that Ozzie [Newsome] actually struck out.
Monroe would only play in 17 of the Ravens next 34 meaningful games.
