The Baltimore Ravens reached an agreement Tuesday with left tackle Eugene Monroe on a five-year contract.

A first-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2009 NFL Draft, Monroe has started 73 of 76 games during his first four seasons in the NFL.

In 2013, Monroe started four games at left tackle for the Jaguars and the final 11 for the Ravens after he was acquired in an Oct. 3 trade for two 2014 draft picks.
