A few weeks ago there was a rumor going around the Twitter-sphere that Marshal Yanda was weighing retirement which left many fans and analysts shocked. After the mass exodus the team experienced in the beginning of the off-season, losing Yanda would be like kicking a man while he’s down. Thankfully, that news was proven false and was officially buried with this one year contract extension.
Marshal Yanda has been one of the most consistent and reliable Ravens since he was drafted in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Since then, he has been named to seven Pro Bowls, two First-Team All-Pro’s, four Second-Team All-Pro’s, and Super Bowl XLVII champion.
