Ravens and Monroe agree to terms: UPDATED
The Baltimore Ravens and tackle Eugene Monroe have agreed to terms, according to Aaron Wilson. Keeping Monroe was one of the Ravens top goals this off season.
Monroe came to the Baltimore Ravens in this trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars early in the 2013 season. Monroe Started every 11 games for the Ravens at left tackle.
The Ravens offensive line had a tough season but Monroe was one of the steady members of the line, protecting quarterback Joe Flacco’s blind side. The Ravens chose not to use the Franchise Tag on Monroe earlier this off season. Monroe has family in the Baltimore area and it is a good fit for him to stay long term.
More details to come as more information is available.
Here is the tweet from Wilson about the deal.

UPDATED: The deal with Monroe is a five-year deal worth $37.5 million, according to Jeff Zrebiec. Here is his tweet. Also according to Wilson Monroe will get an $11 million signing bonus and $19 million guaranteed.
A five-year, $37.5 deal for Monroe seems like a good compromise for both sides. Initial thought was he’d get around 8.5 per year.

Kuznetsov to make his Capitals debut tonight
Evgeny Kuznetsov is expected to make his Washington Capitals debut tonight, as announced by the Capitals twitter account. Kuznetsov was drafted way back in 2010 and finally signed a deal with the Caps last week, that story can be found here.
I am not sure what line the Caps will put Kuznetsov for tonight’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins but if I were to guess it would be the third or fourth line. Right now it looks like Kuznetsov will be on the Caps fourth line. The Caps plan on easing Kuznetsov into NHL action. No doubt Kuznetsov has the talent to become a top six forward.

McClellan was an undrafted free agent in 2010 and spent time on the Ravens practice squad his rookie season. In 2012 McClellan started 11 games and had a sack.
Keeping McClellan is good for the Ravens, he has remained healthy and can do the grunt work on special teams and defense. McClellan has 47 career tackles and plays very strong.
