Ravens Re-sign James Hurst

In terms of what this means in free agency, this probably signals the likelihood that Jimmy Graham won’t be coming to Baltimore.

That said, most of the free agents were a long shot anyway given our cap situation and our love for compensatory picks.

But if the Cowboys release Dez Bryant or the Packers release Jordy Nelson, they both could be great veteran options. Especially if they do it after most of the free agent market has spent their money.

this is pointing to drafting wr in round  1 and 2, and signing a low priority FA such as a moncrief, and im ok with that

As other have said, he needs to stay inside at guard. Lewis at Tackle, Skura at center still seems like the most likely scenario. Jensen is fully gonzo. It would have happened already if it was going to happen. 

I read they are still expecting Siragusa to be ready for training camp, so he's in the mix at center too, I imagine.

The money isn't bad at all. It's below second contract for average starter money. They basically chose him over Austin Howard.

This deal is way more favorable than initially reported IMO

So if he's a safe bet to be here 2 years for 5M+1M+3.5M = 9.5M. And if he sticks as a starter we choose if we want him at 4M for each of 2020 and 2021. 

Clear pattern to many of our deals.
