The Baltimore Ravens lost very few starters this past offseason. Most of their starters who departed, like cornerback Brandon Stephens and safety Marcus Williams, were negative assets throughout the 2024 campaign. One loss that was not talked about enough, though, is thriving with his new team, and the Ravens are missing him deeply after Week 1 of the NFL season.
Versatile offensive guard Patrick Mekari earned a well-deserved payday from the Jacksonville Jaguars in March, signing for three years and $37.5 million. While he was not a flashy piece in Baltimore during his six-year tenure, Mekari was incredibly impactful.
