Ronnie Stanley, Ravens Agree to Reported $60M Contract Amid Chiefs, Patriots Rumors

Ronnie Stanley is staying put.

The star left tackle agreed to a new contract to return to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, the team announced. Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported it's a three-year, $60 million deal.

Stanley was selected by the Ravens with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, spending each of the first nine years of his career with the organization.

The 30-year-old had several potential suitors in free agency, with ESPN's Mike Reiss reporting that the New England Patriots were interested in him. Nate Taylor of The Athletic also reported that the Kansas City Chiefs were planning to target him at the outset of free agency.

Instead, the two-time Pro Bowl tackle is sticking with Baltimore.

A reunion doesn't come as a major surprise, with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reporting on March 2 that the "sense" was the Ravens and Stanley could "agree to terms on an extension in the coming days."

The 30-year-old operated as an imposing blind-side protector for Lamar Jackson once again in 2024, receiving an impressive 71 overall grade from Pro Football Focus. He allowed just two sacks in 575 pass-blocking snaps.

Stanley's 92 percent pass-block win rate ranked No. 12 among all tackles during his 2024 campaign, via ESPN.

He also avoided availability issues last season, suiting up in every one of Baltimore's regular-season contests for the first time in his career.

While Jackson has the mobility to evade multiple defenders in the pocket, Stanley's presence still heavily contributed to the Ravens' stellar pass protection. They allowed just 24 sacks in 2024, the fourth-best mark in the NFL.

As Baltimore attempts to clinch a fourth consecutive playoff appearance in 2025, Stanley will continue lining up at left tackle.
