Ravens offered first-round tender to LT Gaither

With only two days left before the March 5 deadline, the Baltimore Ravens are among the several teams who began to take actions to retain free agents. Their action was to assign their starting offensive left tackle Jared Gaither the first-round tender.

As a former supplemental draft pick out of the University of Maryland, 6-foot-9, 340-pound Gaither has formed a strong young tackle tandem with Michael Oher, who put on Ravens jersey last year as a first-round draft pick. When Gaither was taking care of his neck injury last season, Oher filled in at left tackle.

Gaither’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has expressed that he wants to get a long-term contract for his client from the Ravens, but by so far nothing has been worked out. But at least it still good news that Gaither can still play for the Ravens and tries to prove that he deserves a long-term deal. It’s really hard to say whether the three-year veteran could fine better NFL home in open market.
