The Baltimore Ravens re-sign left tackle Ronnie Stanley to a three-year, $60 million deal with $44 million guaranteed.
Two days before the NFL’s negotiating period, the Baltimore Ravens locked down their left tackle position by re-signing Ronnie Stanley.
Ronnie Stanley Stats
Ronnie Stanley has played 10 nine NFL seasons. He’s played 104 games, and started all 104. In 2024, Ronnie Stanley played 100% of team snaps (1,221), the second-most snaps of any tackle. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2024.
What Is the Contract?
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Stanley and the Ravens agreed upon a three-year, $60 million deal. Comparing that to the left tackle market, that ties Detroit Lions’ Taylor Decker with $20 million AAV, and ranks No. 8.
According to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz, Stanley will receive $44 million in guaranteed money. A significantly higher amount over Decker ($31.83 million).
Why It Made Sense to Re-Sign Ronnie Stanley
The Ravens are firmly in their championship window with quarterback Lamar Jackson; keeping him upright and with a left tackle he has full trust in was pertinent to the sustained success of the offense. With the NFL Draft class not as strong at tackle, and few true options in free agency, it was their top priority to securing Stanley. It also likely will help their cap situation.
How does the signing of Ronnie Stanley impact the Ravens’ offseason?
With Stanley now under contract, the Ravens can focus on other areas both in free agency and the draft. With two days before the negotiating period, the Ravens don’t have to navigate balancing the possibility of Stanley while also pursuing contingency plans. It allows General Manager Eric DeCosta to look elsewhere in the offseason for additions with the knowledge both of their offensive line secured along with what their cap space looks like entering the free agency period.
