$32 million over 5 years is not a bad salary for an offensive lineman. He was also
coveted by the Redskins, but since the money was right he stayed with the team he loved. This will allow him to move to right guard, and should make him a Pro-Bowler at that position-hopefully also reviving a sometimes stagnant running game. He is big, passionate and versatile-able to play any position along the O-line. His long term signing is an investment in keeping both QB Joe
Flacco, and young RB Ray Rice healthy and productive. Free agent focus now shifts to locking up franchise nose tackle
Haloti Ngata, and local boy Maryland
corner back Josh Wilson. any money left over could be used to consider re-signing the just cut mason, heap or Gregg, as well as more of their offensive linemen. Mason is possibly the most
valuable as a healthy, veteran possession receiver who is a vital part of the Baltimore community.
