The Baltimore Ravens are facing a potential offseason loss with the impending free agency of left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who has emerged as a highly sought-after player after a stellar performance in 2024. At 31, Stanley has returned to top form, starting all 17 games and allowing only two sacks. With the market for left tackles being highly competitive, many teams will likely vie for his services, especially considering the recent trend of high-value contracts for positions like his.

The situation is reminiscent of Orlando Brown Jr.'s departure from the Ravens to the Kansas City Chiefs, where a lucrative deal was struck. As playoff contenders seek to bolster their offensive lines, Stanley's status as a left tackle means he will command a premium contract. However, the Ravens may struggle to retain him financially, reinforcing concerns about their ability to keep star players under their current salary cap constraints.
