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, Pierce received a 91.0 grade from Pro Football Focus White Ty Montgomery Jersey , 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, 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 Ty Montgomery Jersey 2019 , 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, it’s unlikely Baltimore would find a player as talented and dominant as Michael Pierce. This could be it, folks, in many ways. This could be the nail in the coffin for the season Womens Hayden Hurst Jersey , dropping three-straight games and plunging to 4-5. It could be the last game we witness Terrell Suggs play in against the Steelers. Maybe the last time Ben Roethlisberger battles Baltimore while donning the Pittsburgh jersey. But here—and now—comes the biggest game of the 2018 season.This game is everything and it comes without two critical pieces to the Ravens offense. Among the many players listed out for this matchup, both the Ravens starting tackles are listed OUT. This leaves Jermaine Eluemunor and Orlando Brown Jr. as the next men up to provide Joe Flacco protection and hopefully running lanes on the ground.This is a chance for Baltimore to sweep the Steelers for the first time in three years. It’s up to the big men up front on offense and the entire defense to contain JuJu Smith-Schuster, Antonio Brown and the highly-touted James Conner for a second time this year.Social MediaAs always, I do ask for you to please follow and ‘like’ us on various social media outlets.Twitter: @BMoreBeatdownFacebook: Baltimore Beatdown: For Baltimore Ravens fansInstagram: baltimore_beatdownGO RAVENS!
