Ravens, Seahawks, Raiders Assess Offensive Line Needs Ahead of NFL Offseason

The Baltimore Ravens are facing significant offseason decisions, particularly regarding star left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who is coming off his first injury-free season and is in line for a substantial contract extension. With 21 free agents and a need to rework the offensive line, the Ravens may also consider re-signing versatile player Patrick Mekari, while exploring draft prospects to bolster their line. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks endured a challenging 2024 season with a volatile offensive line, using six different starting combinations, which resulted in poor performance including 54 sacks. Expert Brandon Thorn criticized the Seahawks' line as 'shaky at best' and highlighted the need for improvements, particularly on the right side where multiple players struggled. The Seahawks must prioritize upgrades to avoid further mediocrity in the upcoming season. The Raiders also assessed their offensive tackle position as needing attention but not as urgently as other areas, with some optimism for player development.
