With NFL free agency right around the corner, the Baltimore Ravens have a few players who could end up leaving town. One of those players is star offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley Jr.
Stanley has been mentioned a lot in the rumor mill. He has been heavily connected to the New England Patriots, as well as other teams who need offensive line help.
He may be rumored to have interest from other teams, but Stanley could still end up returning to the Ravens as well.
That being said, a major update has been given regarding Stanley with free agency opening next week.
As shared by Carlos A. Lopez on X, Mike Girardi of the Boston Sports Journal has revealed that Stanley either would like to re-sign with Baltimore or join a contender.
The current sense is that free agent LT Ronnie Stanley Jr. wants to either remain in Baltimore or join a contender, per @MikeGiardi.

If Girardi is correct with his report, which he likely is, the Patriots might not be at the top of Stanley's list. Should winning be the main priority for Stanley, the Ravens would be very much back in play for him.
Standing in at 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, Stanley has been a huge part of the Baltimore offense. Losing him would be a tough blow, but there is hope that he might end up returning after all.
What would it take to re-sign Stanley? Spotrac has his market value listed at a deal worth around two years for $41.3 million.
This is a positive update for the Ravens' chances to re-sign Stanley, but there will still be a long list of teams lining up with offers for him.
