Tale of the Tape

When the Baltimore Ravens lost center Ryan Jensen to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a result of a $40+ million deal, it is doubtful many Ravens fans became overly worried about backfilling the 2017 starter.

Jensen produced in Baltimore, and would have been welcomed back at the right price. But the highest paid center in the NFL? Heck no.

The Ravens have been here before, and regularly prove they have no issue filling the center position. When Matt Birk retired, the team acquired Jeremy Zuttah, a center who played well initially in Baltimore but eventually tailed off.
