Ravens sign LT Ronnie Stanley to five-year, $98.75M extension

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens signed left tackle Ronnie Stanley to a five-year extension on Friday, continuing a commitment to keep their young All-Pro talent.

Stanley becomes the NFL's second-highest-paid left tackle, striking a $98.75 million extension, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. His annual average of $19.75 million trails only Houston's Laremy Tunsil ($22 million per season).

Stanley's deal maxes out at $112.866 million, the source said. He did surpass Tunsil in three areas: signing bonus ($22.5 million), total guarantees ($70.866 million, over $16 million more than Tunsil) and payout through March 31 ($47.116 million).

The extension keeps Stanley protecting Lamar Jackson's blind side through the 2025 season and comes 29 days after the Ravens signed All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey to a five-year, $98.75 million extension.

"Ronnie is the mainstay on our offensive line," Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said. "He's a shutdown left tackle who excels on the field and in our community. This is just the beginning for Ronnie, and we could not be happier for him and his family."

I don't want to know what we're going to have to pay Bolles after the season. If he keeps playing like he has been so far this year, this contract either is what he'll be asking for, or hurts if we give him the franchise tag lol

Coach Harbaugh confirmed Stanley is done for the season with an ankle injury.
