Last week, the Baltimore Ravens released veteran left tackle Eugene Monroe after waiting for him to get healthy, and after failing to work out a trade for him. The move was not unexpected after the team used its sixth-overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft on tackle Ronnie Stanley, who is now anticipated to be the opening day starter at left tackle.
The Ravens traded for Monroe about a month into the 2013 season, only to re-sign him the following offseason to a big-money contract. He has since dealt with injuries, however, including a knee scope during the 2014 season, and a number of injuries landed him on injured reserve in 2015.
