Report: Ravens cut Monroe after trade talks with Giants fall through

The Baltimore Ravens have released offensive tackle Eugene Monroe, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, citing sources.

The Ravens attempted to trade Monroe, but talks with the New York Giants reportedly fell through.

Schefter identifies the Giants, San Diego Chargers, and Seattle Seahawks - all teams with question marks at left tackle - as potential suitors for Monroe on the open market.

The Ravens acquired Monroe from the Jacksonville Jaguars in October 2013 for fourth- and fifth-round picks, then gave him a big-money deal the following offseason.

Since 2014, Monroe has been healthy enough to appear in only 17 of a possible 32 games, leading the Ravens to select his successor, Ronnie Stanley, in the first round of the 2016 draft.

Monroe's recent advocacy for the NFL allowing players to use marijuana as a pain relief tool may have contributed to his release by the Ravens. The franchise has shied away from off-field distractions since the Ray Rice scandal. The Ravens reportedly were set to draft Laremy Tunsil, but pivoted to Stanley after video of Tunsil smoking from a bong emerged in the moments before the draft.

When healthy, Monroe can be a solid starting left tackle. He shouldn't have much trouble finding a new team, provided he can prove to teams that his health and views on marijuana won't be an issue.
