Left tackle Ronnie Stanley will be with the Baltimore Ravens for just a little bit longer. The Ravens announced they had signed Stanley to a five-year extension, which means he’s under contract through 2025.
There was little doubt Baltimore wanted to get Stanley inked to an extension, locking up one of their offensive foundations for the long-term. Stanley brought his game to a completely different level last season, putting together one of the best seasons for an offensive tackle since Jonathan Ogden. Once again this season, Stanley has been one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL, helping protect franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson and paving the way to a league-leading rushing attack.
Baltimore has had a tendency to get contracts done early under general manager Eric DeCosta. While the Ravens have frequently kept their best players around, DeCosta has been aggressive in getting deals done midseason. Baltimore is fresh off signing Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey a five-year extension just a few weeks ago, keeping two of their best young players in town for the foreseeable future.
