+ The relationship between the organization and the tackle Orlando Brown Jr. is not as bad as some imagine. DeCosta said he and Brown have had “some conversations” since Brown tweeted that he wants to play the left, effectively signaling that he could be happier elsewhere, since the Ravens already have a left, Ronnie Stanley. It doesn’t look like harsh words were said between Brown and DeCosta. DeCosta sounded like he could relate to Brown, wanting to fulfill his vision as a left-wing striker, because DeCosta also had a similar vision when he was young, wanting to be an NFL GM, and that vision became a reality. As DeCosta explained, Brown also acknowledges that the Ravens currently own the cards in their poker game. “He is under contract. He understands that … we will do what is best for Orlando and the Ravens,” said DeCosta. It looks like he will be delighted to hear any exchange offers that come up, but if they aren’t wide open, Brown could easily end up playing on the right in Baltimore in 2021. No one knows what the situation will be like, but when asked if Stanley would be fully recovered from his injury in his ankle in time to play in 2021, Harbaugh said he hoped so, but if not, the team has a left tackle. This is Brown.
