Orlando BrownThe mission to attack or blow up the left prompted the three-year-old Ravens holder to request an exchange. The Ravens are hearing offers for the 24-year-old blocker, and Brown’s camp is now looking for potential destinations.
Brown’s representatives have begun to explore the negotiations, according to ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler, who adds that the Ravens are aware of the plans of their right to attack (Twitter link) However, the Ravens certainly represent the main part here. They are certainly looking for a high-value business transaction.
Ronnie StanleyThe injury at the end of the season led the Ravens to use Brown as their left tackle. Brown previously served as a tackle holder in Baltimore alongside Stanley. A former third-round pick, Brown has one season left in his rookie contract.
Pro Football Focus has seen Brown as one of the top 25 tackles in each of the past two seasons, and O-linemen has proven to arouse enormous interest as free agents every year. It appears that several teams are interested in acquiring Brown through exchange. The Ravens, having extended Stanley last year, will cut Brown’s path to the left tackle in Baltimore, but as of now, the NFL’s second-generation tackle remains the team’s right tackle.
Negotiating with Brown would further deplete the Baltimore offensive line. Marshal YandaSteven’s retirement created a void for the Ravens, who now have Stanley recovering from a serious injury. However, the Ravens’ agreement would provide additional drawing capital with which to strengthen their O line.
If the Ravens switch Brown, the acquiring team will need to be prepared to give him a tip extension. A 2022 franchise brand could also be used, by the Ravens or the acquiring team, to block Brown. Stanley, David Bakhtiari and commercial acquisition 2019 Laremy Tunsil changed the market in the left tackle. Tunsil and Bakhtiari pushed him over $ 22 million a year. The upper right tackle contract (Lane Johnson‘s) is an average of $ 18 million per year.
