The Ravens have released Alex Lewis, according to a social media post from the offensive lineman. Just this week, Lewis was cleared for action, but he’s apparently not part of the team’s plans for 2019.
The Ravens shopped Lewis before cutting him and there was trade interest in him in recent days, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. That suggests that the former starter won’t be out of work for very long, especially after passing a physical.
Before today, Lewis was expected to compete for the Ravens’ starting left guard job. Over his last two healthy years (interrupted by a torn labrum in 2017), Lewis has made 18 starts in total.
Can NE look at him? We need OL help still
No they need a left tackle not a guard and there not that bad on the line they have a top 5 o-line in the league
I might be crazy, I thought somewhere I read about NE moving Thuney to LT, and didn’t Lewis come into the league from college as a Tackle?
Ben Powers took his job.
I’m not surprised. Lewis seemed to me like a weak link whenever he was in there. I don’t even like the Ravens but I thought the Powers pick was a good one, he’s a good fit there.
Hello. Alex, we have the Detroit Lions on line 1…
Traded to the Jets
and reported in comments before the rumor mill posts it (20+ mins) I might add, come on NFLTR…
They just posted it based on the players report on social media. He was told he was getting released and in the meantime the Jets sent a pick for a guy they could’ve had for free.
