Baltimore Ravens right tackle Ricky Wagner is expected to be highly coveted on the free agent open market. Plenty of teams are in need of offensive line help as Wagner will probably fetch a high price tag. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports is reporting that the Ravens are trying their best to keep Wagner in Baltimore.

Wagner, a 5th round pick in 2013, has been a steady offensive lineman starting 14 games this past season. Pro Football Focus just graded Wagner as the 18th best right tackle in football this past season. With the Ravens having only about $15 million to work with in free agency, they don’t have the ability to franchise tag Wagner.

Williams, on the other hand, is expected to receive a contract similar to the one Snacks Harrison got the last offseason. As of now, I doubt Baltimore can keep either player.
