Baltimore enjoyed a nice bounce-back season from Ronnie Stanley in 2024, a performance made possible in part by Stanley agreeing to a restructured deal last March that reduced his base salary and contract length (making him a free agent in 2025). Stanley accepted the new terms because he said he hadn’t played up to his standard, but he did in 2024 and now appears to be in line to make around $20 million per year on his next deal — a number that could be even higher if the Ravens franchise tag him. Considering his injury history, the tag makes more sense than a multi-year contract, but the Ravens don’t have much cap space to work with.

Baltimore could go in a different direction entirely, though, and pursue Cam Robinson, who could cost them potentially $5-6 million less per year. Only one year younger than Stanley, Robinson is coming off a productive 2024 season in which he served as Sam Darnold‘s blind-side protector after being acquired by Minnesota from Jacksonville near the trade deadline. His impact and effectiveness at tackle was immediate, as if he’d been with the Vikings for years. The Ravens could also look to the draft to address this need, especially after hitting on right tackle Roger Rosengarten in Round 2 last year. But with Baltimore in prime contending position, it seems unlikely that they would rely on another draft pick to step in and immediately contribute in Year 1.
