OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Ronnie Stanley, who was considered the top available offensive tackle this offseason, chose to re-sign with the Baltimore Ravens for a team-friendly three-year, $60 million deal on March 8 instead of testing free agency.
Stanley's decision, as he explained Monday, came down to loyalty.
"I knew I was going to give Baltimore the best bargain that I would offer to any other team," Stanley said. "But that being said, I still wanted to be happy with what I'm making and make sure I'm getting the value that I feel like I deserve.
