2. What is the free agent situation like on the Baltimore Ravens offensive line?

The Baltimore Ravens have a few big decisions to make on their offensive line. The question is whether or not these decisions will impact the Chicago Bears. Ronnie Stanley will be an interesting discussion. At his peak, he was one of the best tackles in the NFL. However, that was about three years ago, and injuries have changed that perception. 

He was platooning with Patrick Mekari in the playoffs, and the Ravens can save $9M in cap space if they let him go this offseason If he gets cut, does it make sense to push Braxton Jones or at least give Chicago a gauge of how good Jones is compared to him?

Two other starters to watch are Kevin Zeitler and John Simpson. They started at right and left guard, respectively. Zeitler is at an age where he may not have a huge market, but at the same time, he would be better than Nate Davis based on last year's performance. Simpson could be looked at more as depth after he was up and down for the Ravens last year.

The Ravens are losing starters, while the Chicago Bears want some depth. These may not be the best fits, but they could impact the market, which would help the team.
