The Baltimore Ravens will re-sign left tackle Ronnie Stanley to a three-year, $60 million deal, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday.
Stanley, 30, is a two-time Pro Bowl player who has been the Baltimore Ravens’ starting left tackle since 2016. In reaching free agency for the first time, Stanley was considered the best available offensive tackle in the league.
He is coming off his best season since a career-altering left ankle injury in 2020. When protecting quarterback Lamar Jackson‘s blind side last season, Stanley ranked 12th in pass block win rate among tackles (92.5%), played in every game in a single season for the first time and continued to be a respected leader.
It was a solid bounce-back year for Stanley, who took a 50% pay cut last offseason to remain with the Ravens. Stanley said he took a $7.5 million salary reduction because he didn’t want to leave Baltimore after a down season in 2023.
Durability has been a major issue for Stanley. Since signing a five-year, $98.75 million deal midway through the 2020 season, he has missed 36 games over the last five seasons due to ankle, shoulder and knee injuries.
Stanley, the No. 6 overall pick in 2016, produced his best season in 2019 when he became the Ravens’ first All-Pro left tackle since Hall of Fame lineman Jonathan Ogden. In 104 starts, Stanley has allowed 28 sacks, including five last season.
