The Baltimore Ravens had a commendable 2024 season, finishing with a 12-5 record and clinching the AFC North title.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson led the charge, posting impressive stats with 4,172 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, and only four interceptions. Despite his stellar performance, Jackson was snubbed for the MVP award, which went to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
One of the key contributors to the Ravens’ success was veteran offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley.
In the 2024 season, Stanley started all 17 games. His performance was instrumental in the Ravens’ offensive success, as he allowed only 1.5 sacks and committed just one penalty.
His consistency and reliability have made him one of the top free agents in the upcoming offseason.
Stanley’s contract with the Ravens is set to expire, making him one of the top free agents in the upcoming offseason.
His performance this season has not gone unnoticed, as he ranks highly on the 33rd Team’s free agency top 100 list, coming in at seventh place.
“Ronnie Stanley was 12th among tackles in pass block win rate despite a 5.4 percent passing blown block rate,” Dan Pizzuta of the 33rd Team wrote.

“That’s a huge difference based on how long Stanley had to hold some blocks on extended plays. On the high side, Stanley can be one of the better pass-blocking tackles in the league, and he played 17 games after missing time to injury in each of the past four seasons.”
The Ravens face a tough decision on whether to retain Stanley or let him explore other opportunities in free agency.
As the Ravens look to build on their success, retaining key players like Stanley will be crucial.
His ranking on the free agency list highlights his value and the impact he can have on any team. The Ravens will need to weigh their options carefully as they prepare for the next season.
