It's no secret to anyone that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to go shopping on the open market for an offensive tackle as free agency begins. They were already rumored to be interested in the best option that could have become available—Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley—but his re-signing to stay with the team that drafted him blocked that route entirely.

Just days before the NFL’s free agency negotiation period, the Ravens locked up Stanley for the near future. The top offensive lineman signed a three-year deal with Baltimore on Saturday worth $60 million with $44 million guaranteed at signing, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
