Source: Ravens to re-sign Stanley to 3-year deal

The Baltimore Ravens will re-sign veteran left tackle Ronnie Stanley, 30, a two-time Pro Bowl player who has been the franchise's starting left tackle since 2016, to a three-year, $60 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens reached a contract agreement with left tackle Ronnie Stanley on Saturday, securing their top free agent and quarterback Lamar Jackson's blind side for the near future.

Stanley's three-year deal is worth $60 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. His average of $20 million per year is tied for eighth among left tackles.

The deal was reached two days before the start of the negotiation period in free agency. Stanley, a two-time Pro Bowl player, was expected to draw strong interest in the open market.

The Ravens have now brought back four offensive line starters from last season's No. 1-ranked offense. Left guard Patrick Mekari is an unrestricted free agent.

Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta and coach John Harbaugh expressed optimism about re-signing Stanley at the NFL scouting combine last month.

Last season, Stanley talked about how much he valued playing in Baltimore and blocking for Jackson and running back Derrick Henry.

Stanley, 30, has been Baltimore's starting left tackle since 2016.

He is coming off his best season since a career-altering left ankle injury in 2020. When protecting Jackson's blind side last season, Stanley ranked 12th in pass block win rate among tackles (92.5%), played in every game for the first time in his career 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 past five seasons because of 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 Famer Jonathan Ogden. In 104 starts, Stanley has allowed 28 sacks, including five last season.

No charges are being brought up against Worthy.

Good news for the Commanders:

Source: Commanders re-signing tight end Ertz

Three-time time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz is re-signing with the Washington Commanders one a one-year deal worth $6.25 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Three-time time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz is re-signing with the Washington Commanders, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.

The deal is for one-year and worth $6.25 million with a maximum value of $9 million.

Ertz, who ranks sixth on the all-time receptions list for tight ends with 775, underwent a career resurgence last season, his first with the Commanders.

He caught 66 passes for 654 yards and seven touchdowns -- his highest amount of scoring receptions since he had eight in 2018 with the Philadelphia Eagles. He finished with the fifth most receptions among tight ends last season and was fourth in touchdown catches.

Ertz, 34, was a favorite target of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, especially on third or fourth down and in the red zone. All of Ertz's touchdown receptions occurred in the red zone and he was fourth among tight ends with 13 catches inside the 20-yard line. Including the postseason, Ertz caught 26 passes on third or fourth down -- second most behind the Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce.

Before 2024, Ertz spent two injury-shortened seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, missing a combined 17 games. Ertz spent his first eight-plus seasons with Philadelphia where he set the single-season reception record for tight ends with 116 in 2018. He was voted to three Pro Bowl teams with the Eagles, who traded him to Arizona on Oct. 15, 2021.

Ertz needs 34 receptions to pass Shannon Sharpe and move into fifth among tight ends on the all-time receptions list.

ESPN's John Keim contributed to this report.

No doubt Ertz gets those 34 Receptions he broke Records with my Eagles and still till this day my favorite TE from the franchise. It might be a little bit harder though Deebo is going to eat up those Receptions but he might eat if Teams try to lock down the Terry and Deebo freeing him up.
