The offensive line performed above expectations for the Baltimore Ravens this season, despite three new starters, but one of those newcomers, versatile guard Patrick Mekari, is ticketed for 2025 NFL free agency, and the team is urged to sign a potential replacement, five-time Pro Bowler Brandon Scherff.
It’s a match of player and team detailed by Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports. He believes “the offensive line is going to be under a microscope this offseason in Baltimore, as both Ronnie Stanley and Patrick Mekari are looking for new deals.”
The Ravens can revamp the line with Jacksonville Jaguars starter Scherff, who is credited by Dajani as “an interesting addition for Lamar Jackson, and he made the Pro Bowl five times during seven seasons with Washington. Someone save him from Jacksonville.”
Snagging a veteran with Scherff’s pedigree would be a boost for the Ravens if they’re unable to bring back Mekari or All-Pro left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who’s also set to enter free agency. Yet, for all his talent and accolades, 33-year-old Scherff doesn’t fit the recent youth drive the Ravens have undertaken up front.
