Ravens Ronnie Stanley explains why he agreed to drastic contract restructure

One of the ' biggest was restructuring offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley's contract.Stanley was supposed to have a cap hit of $26.2 million for the 2024 season. Instead, he and Ravens agreed to a restructured deal that reduced his base salary from $11 million to $3 million and moved much of his money into bonuses and incentives that he can make back. The move lowered his cap number by $9.6 million.Additionally, Stanley now could become a free agent after the season.In an , Stanley Melker Karlsson Kids Jersey seemed to imply that he may have been cut if he did not agree to the restructure. After several injury-plagued seasons in which he did not play up to his standards, Stanley said he wanted to remain in Baltimore for at least one more season to "go out on a high note.""I just wouldnt have personally felt good about leaving Baltimore on that note. I want to play here my whole career, but Marc-Edouard Vlasic Jersey even if Im saying Ill play one more year for a lot le s, its because, if this is my last year, I want to go out on a high note. I want to play at the level that I know I can play at. The time that I mi sed, it would be something that I would have regretted. It would be something that I would think about when Im older."After making an All-Pro team in 2019, Stanley Mikkel Boedker Jersey suffered an ankle injury in 2020 that cost him all but seven games between 2020 and 2021.

Theres no doubt in my mind," NHL San Jose Sharks Kids Jersey Stanley said. "For personal reasons, I view it as a key year. I want to personally refuse to have a year like last year. But there could be three more years on my deal and Id still feel the same. Its not because its the last year on my deal. Its more because as a competitor, I dont like not playing to my capability."If Stanley can reach his pre-injury level, it would obviously be a huge boon for a . The Ravens lost three starters on Jannik Hansen Women Jersey the offensive line over the offseason and don't yet have their replacements finalized (and probably won't until closer to the regular season).Whether or not Stanley can regain any of his All-Pro form could be among the key factors as Baltimore tries to remain in Super Bowl contention.
