Could Bradley Bozeman and DeShon Elliott Be in Line for Extensions?
Quarterback Lamar Jackson, tight end Mark Andrews and running back Gus Edwards are at the top of the list of Ravens who could receive contract extensions this offseason, but there are other candidates for extensions.
Among them are guard Bradley Bozeman and safety DeShon Elliott, Press Box's Bo Smolka wrote.
A 2018 sixth-round pick entering the final year of his rookie contract, Bozeman has started every game the past two seasons.
"The Ravens face a lot of uncertainty in the interior of their offensive line, with questions at center and at right guard," Smolka wrote. " … Bozeman had played center at Alabama, and he could be a candidate to shift from left guard to center if the Ravens find a guard in free agency or the draft.
"Regardless, Bozeman has shown to be a capable starter and is a known quantity on a line that — especially given Brown's situation — faces a lot of uncertainty. It doesn't hurt that he's also the Ravens' reigning NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for his civic contributions."
Elliott also is a 2018 sixth-round pick set to hit free agency next year. After suffering season-ending injuries his first two years in the league, Elliott started all 16 games for the Ravens last season and was named the team's most improved player by Pro Football Focus.
"The Ravens signed their other starting safety, Chuck Clark — like Elliott, a sixth-round pick — to a three-year, $15.3 million extension in 2020, although Clark by then had already established himself as a de facto defensive captain," Smolka wrote. "The Ravens might want to see another full season from Elliott, who played just six games in his first two seasons, but his physicality and swagger seem to be a good fit."
