Ravens Re-sign LT Eugene Monroe - 5 Years

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Great deal. That's about 7.5 million a year. Ozzie does it again.

Based on that deal...a move for Alex Mack is not out of the question. And the #Ravens are very interested

[Token]

$19m guaranteed per Wilson

[rmw10]

Aaron Wilson ‏@RavensInsider  

Eugene Monroe gets $19 million guaranteed, according to a source

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Damn, lower than I expected but that is a great deal for the Ravens, now somebody figure out the cap hit!

 

I'm very interested to see what the signing bonus and guaranteed money is for us to get him around $7.5 mil.

damn it rmw your stealing all my tweets man lmao!

[TXRavensFan]

Cant wait to see the details. Probably inline with the $8M / yr I was hoping for. Anything more is overpaying

 

NFL.com has the deal at $8M/yr on their ticker...good call

[Purple_ICE 81]

OFFICIAL 5 years $37.5M

ozzie of you pull this off I will never question you again.

Still he should put an offer so even if the browns match they wouldn't have enough for Revis.

[izvoodoo]

People realize just how great of a deal that is for the team, right?  That's really cheap for a franchise LT.

Such a bargain.  It feels like he took a cut to help the team.  I was shocked.  I thought at LEAST 8 mil a year

[rafahash]

Ozzie Newsome is a freaking genius. 7.5 a year, I may very well be dreaming right now.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

5 years $37.5 mil, $19 mil guaranteed, $11 mil signing bonus.

 

Could not have asked for much better than that friends.

[jdynamite]

5yr 37.5M according to Adam Schefter live on TV. Nice deal.

[codizzle]

Awwwww yea

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

Wow.... $7.5mill per year is a great deal.

That is absolutely amazing that we got Eugene Monroe for that amount when most of the experts were expecting him to go in the $10-11mil range. I thought we'd over pay and meet him at $9 and would have been ok with it.

Now lets go get Alex Mack and have a stud O-line regardless of who we throw at RT. If not, it still leaves us enough room to have a lot of different options.

Brian McFarland ‏@RavensSalaryCap 1m

With Bonus of $11M over 5 years, Monroe's 2014 Cap number is likely around $3.2M.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Hope the deal is fair for ravens

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Aaron Wilson ‏@RavensInsider 12m

Jared Veldheer Cardinals deal $35 million, $17 million guaranteed, $6.25 million bonus,

 

 

That signing is going to be the deal of the offseason.  Cannot believe the Raiders let him go for that.

[BmoreBird22]

Let this sink in: Roger Saffold got $8.5 million from the Raiders and Albert got $9.5 million from the Dolphins. Ozzie is a genius.

Please, Alex Mack

[Willbacker]

7.5 mil a year. Great contract and keeps the LT position solidified.

 

Thank god you guys aren't the GM. 10-11 mil. Sheeeesssh!!

[RichieAsh]

And the Ozzie bashers go into hiding. 

[T3hRaven]

Such a bargain.  It feels like he took a cut to help the team.  I was shocked.  I thought at LEAST 8 mil a year

 

I thought $8.5, so they got him really cheap.  It was pretty much what our original predictions were a few months ago before the posturing started, so I think we should get credit for that.

[Ravenslifer]

At 7.5 a year, Monroe is a total steal.  The cap will go up, and his contract will look even better in the future.  And we still have plenty of money left to sign some more quality pieces.

[SecretAgentMan]

Holy crap that's cheap...

 

Let's go get Mack

[rmw10]

Pretty crazy that a franchise LT got only $1M more per year than Pitta.

[Free Agent]

30 year old Branden Albert: 5 yrs/46 million: 9.2 per year.

26 year old Eugene Monroe: 5 yrs/37.5 million: 7.5 per year

 

Ozzie, you're the man.
