Eugene Monroe has looked absolutely lost on the field. He hasn’t played much this season, and it’s looking like he won’t be back next year. Jeff Zreibec of the Baltimore Sun explained the cap situation for the Ravens if they were to get rid of Monroe this offseason:

"The Ravens have a tough decision on their hands with Monroe. Cutting him this offseason would open up $2.1 million in salary cap room but it also would create $6.6 million in dead money. That’s a lot of dead money. But at this point, the Ravens could just view the parting as necessary."

One way to remedy their O-Line problem is to place Kelechi Osemele at left tackle. Although he is a free agent at the end of the season, he is the ideal choice. He has experience playing left tackle in college at Iowa State and he is highly versatile. John Urschel could easily slide into the starting left guard position.

This give the Ravens a starting O-Line of:

Kelechi Osemele, Left Tackle

John Urschel, Left Guard

Jeremy Zuttah, Center

Marshall Yanda, Right Guard

Rick Wagner, Right Tackle

Looks like a solid plan for the Ravens.
