The 2022 NFL free agency period kicked off last Monday, and there has been pandemonium in the NFL ever since, especially in the AFC. The Baltimore Ravens have made a few splash moves themselves, bringing in safety Marcus Williams, offensive tackle Morgan Moses and defensive tackle Michael Pierce.
Despite making those moves, there are others that the team could make in the coming days and weeks. When listing out one move that each NFL team should still make in 2022 free agency, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report said that the Ravens should sign center JC Tretter. When explaining his decision, Knox talked about how reliable the former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman has been over the years.
“The Browns released JC Tretter at the onset of free agency in a cap-saving move. The release likely had nothing to do with Tretter’s reliability, which has been tremendous over the last five years…Over the past five seasons, Tretter missed only one game—on the reserve/COVID-19 list—and none due to injury. He also played 100 percent of the snaps when active with the Browns. The 31-year-old isn’t a player Baltimore can build around for the next decade, but he’s a plug-and-play guy who can lock down center for the next three-to-five years with no concerns.”
Tretter is an eight year veteran, and has been one of the best at his position for a while. After losing center Bradley Bozeman to the Carolina Panthers, Tretter would be the best replacement for Baltimore, as he’d give them a solid option in the middle of their offensive line.
