The Ravens’ get their guy; Ronnie Stanley gets the contract he’s earned. The team pays the price for a premium talent and arguably the league’s best blindside blockers. Of course there are concerns when this much money is on the line but Stanley earned this deal, full stop. —Kyle P. Barber
Nothing else to say but “great work.” The cap implications are big of course but in my opinion, that’s not as big of a deal at this point. That’s because Ronnie has shown himself to be the Ravens’ first answer for a stalwart franchise left tackle since Jonathan Ogden, and you don’t let those guys walk out the door willy nilly.
