The Baltimore Ravens shored up their offensive line during Day 2 of 2022 free agency, signing offensive tackle Morgan Moses to a three-year, $15 million deal. He will seemingly slot in as the starting right tackle on Baltimore’s offensive line, a position that struggled with consistency outside of offensive lineman Patrick Mekari. - During his introductory press conference with the media, Moses talked about his decision making process when it came to choosing the Ravens as his next team. He gushed about quarterback Lamar Jackson, showing his excitement to play with the former unanimous NFL MVP. - “…So, just going through the process, just combing through and just looking at it and say, ‘Hey, why not? Why not come here and play meaningful football? Why not play in front of the 2019 MVP, the player of the league?’ If you put those things together … Like I said, I haven’t had a stability quarterback; I’ve averaged five quarterbacks since I’ve been in the league every year. So, being able to have a guy like that that’s out there that can extend plays, is explosive, his knowledge of the game – I’ve heard nothing but great things. [He’s the] first person in, last person out. Those are the type of guys you want to be surrounded by. So, when you put it all together, and you put the pieces together, and they fit like they’re supposed to, it was an easy decision.” - The offensive line was one of the most critical areas of need to improve, and the Ravens took a step in the right direction by adding Moses. The eight-year veteran is extremely durable, playing in every game over the past seven seasons and putting together consistent production on the field. He should help protect Jackson, the player he’s so excited to play with. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Ravens Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Ravens Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
