Deal Exit Ravens Sign Josh Jones, a Free Agent OL

The Baltimore Ravens are in need of bodies up front after Kevin Zeitler and Morgan Moses left. Ideally, bodies that can support rookie running back Derrick Henry’s run blocking and quarterback Lamar Jackson’s pass protection.

In light of this, Josh Jones, an offensive tackle for the Houston Texans and former Arizona Cardinal, was signed by the Ravens on Thursday. The agreement’s specifics were not made public. Mitch Stringer, USA TODAY Sports © Mitch Stringer, USA TODAY Sports © The Cardinals selected Jones in the third round of the 2020 draft, and over the course of three seasons, Jones made 47 appearances with 21 starts. The former Houston Cougar was traded by Arizona to his hometown Texans during the previous offseason. He participated in both of Houston’s postseason games and started three games during the regular season. Jones may be moved around as needed, but his expected spot at tackle is on the left side, behind Ronnie Stanley. Stanle, Andrew Vorhees, Tyler Linderbaum, Ben Cleveland, Patrick Mekari, Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, Tashawn Manning, Daniel Faalele, and TyKeem Doss are among the offensive linemen he joins. The Jets received Moses and a fourth-round pick from the Ravens earlier this month in return for a fourth and sixth-round pick. Following the trade of fourth-round selections, Baltimore will now be selected at number 112, while New York will now be selected at number 134. A few days later, Zeitler, a free agent, signed to terms with the Detroit Lions to take Jonah Jackson’s spot in Los Angeles.

Zeitler had previously stated that he felt he could complete his career in Charm City and that a return to Baltimore was “obvious”. It was not to be, though.
