For the time being, it appears that veteran offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva’s first season with the Baltimore Ravens was his last in the league. The team announced his placement on the Reserve/Retired List on Wednesday.
The Ravens signed him last offseason to a two-year deal worth $14 million and $8 million fully guaranteed. His decision to retire frees up $6 million in cap space for the Ravens and ends a seven-year career that was spent entirely in the AFC North. He originally signed with the Philadelphia Eagles after he came into the league as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Army.
