Pavely-USA TODAY SportsA day after they placed a second-round tender on restricted free agent linebacker Patrick Onwuasor, the Ravens are taking the same action with defensive tackle Michael Pierce, whose also a RFA. Pierce is set to make just north of $3 million this upcoming season. Given his production and consistency over the past few seasons, this price tag is a fairly significant bargain. Pierce has developed into a dominant run-stuffing force and one of the most impactful interior defensive lineman in the league.This past season Baby Lamar Jackson Jersey , Pierce received a 91.0 grade from Pro Football Focus, which ranked 5th among all players at the position. Few could have foreseen this ascendance from the former undrafted free agent but he’s quickly become one of the most important players on Baltimore’s roster.Losing Pierce would be a significant blow to the Ravens defense, especially after losing Eric Weddle and with the impending free agencies of three impact players near the line of scrimmage: Terrell Suggs, Za’Darius Smith Jaylon Ferguson Baltimore Ravens Jersey , and C.J. Mosley.Because Pierce is restricted free agent, the Ravens can match any offer sheet that another team extends to him. As is the case with Onwuasor, should Baltimore decline to match an offer from another team, they would receive a second-round draft pick as compensation for losing Pierce. It wouldn’t be surprising to see both Onwuasor and Pierce receive offers from other teams but the Ravens would almost certainly match them. While second-round picks are valuable Color Rush Jaylon Ferguson Jersey , it’s unlikely Baltimore would find a player as talented and dominant as Michael Pierce. Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said earlier this month that the team is redefining their entire offensive approach and tailoring it to quarterback Lamar Jackson as he prepares to entire his second NFL season as a starter.Roman repeated that during a press conference on Tuesday and expanded his thoughts to say that a “powerful” offensive line is a must for them to be successful. He also outlined a couple of areas where Jackson has to improve on his rookie performance.The coordinator called ball security a “big emphasis” and expressed confidence that Jackson will take care of that problem. The other is throwing the football and Roman said he’s seen growth from Jackson on that front that leaves him feeling the “sky’s the limit” for future progress.“Lamar has a unique skill set,” Roman said. “Just like any young guy, he’s gonna develop. As far as him throwing the football, we feel great about it. We saw a lot of improvement last year throughout the season and Jaylon Ferguson Baltimore Ravens Jersey , really, he’s only going to get better from here.”Roman said Jackson has been his own “harshest critic” heading into the offseason and has a “great plan” in place to improve in 2019. He didn’t outline what’s involved with that plan, but said the team will see how it has unfolded when their workouts begin in April.
