Former Pittsburgh
Steelers tackle Alejandro Villanueva signed Tuesday with the AFC
North rival Baltimore Ravens.
Multiple outlets reported it was a two-year, $14 million deal
with $8 million guaranteed.
Villanueva, 32, earned two Pro Bowl selections (2017, 2018) and
appeared in 96 games (90 starts) in seven seasons with the
Steelers.
The 6-foot-9, 320-pound veteran started all 16 games for the
fifth consecutive campaign in 2020, playing every offensive snap
for the third consecutive year.
The team said Villanueva will start at right tackle for the
Ravens, who traded Orlando Brown Jr. to the Kansas City Chiefs
before the draft. He will also provide depth behind All-Pro left
tackle Ronnie Stanley, who is coming off a season-ending ankle
injury.
