Rick Wagner, offensive tackle
The Baltimore Ravens don’t want to lose Wagner. They’re already trying to get him signed, but he’s reportedly rebuffed their initial offer, and at this point it’s a given he will take his talents to the open market to see what kind of deal he can land.
Wagner is a fluid pass protector who can immediately upgrade many offensive lines around the league. And there are a few high-profile quarterbacks in dire need of protection, including Cam Newton, whose Carolina Panthers must invest money into their offensive line.
The past three years in Baltimore, Wagner has not only been excellent protecting Joe Flacco but has been durable as well, starting 45 games.
He’s not going to land an elite-level contract this offseason, but Wagner’s contract will likely raise some eyebrows when it’s all said and done.
