Re-signing players – Offense:
There aren’t nearly as many offensive players set to hit free agency for Baltimore and a good number of them are either RFAs or ERFAs, which makes re-signing them a lot easier.
Wide receiver Seth Roberts was a good fit for the Ravens’ offense. Though he didn’t add a ton to the stat sheet as a receiving option, he was a great downfield blocker and could still come in handy. If he’s willing to take the same one-year deal Baltimore signed him to last offseason, I think he’d be good experienced depth at a pretty solid value.
Center Matt Skura might be the Ravens’ toughest decision on offense. He’s coming back from a devastating knee injury and isn’t sure if he’ll be ready for training camp. With Patrick Mekari playing well in his stead, it’s tough to give Skura even a second-round tender at an expected $3.28 million for one year. Even the original-round tender of $2.14 million is a little steep if he won’t start next season. But I’d like to keep him around and I’d expect the injury would be enough to keep other teams from poaching him outright, so I’d hand him the original-round tender.
Running back Gus Edwards and offensive lineman Randin Crecelius are ERFAs, which means they’ll only cost $660,000 each to re-sign for 2020. That’s a no brainer for both players but a downright steal for Edwards.
