Ravens RT Michael Oher triggered an escalator in his rookie contract, raising his 2013 salary from $3.085 million to $3.785 million.
After winning the Super Bowl, Oher is now entering the final year of his contract. Back in October, it was reported that the Ravens had held "preliminary" extension talks. With Oher bouncing between left and right tackle over the years, it could complicate the discussions. Left tackles are valued more, so, in turn, they are paid more. Oher's versatility can't be overlooked, though. Joe Flacco will certainly dominate contract headlines this offseason, but Oher won't be far behind as a solid pass protector. Feb 4 - 11:41 AM

The Ravens have held "preliminary" extension talks with LT Michael Oher, who is signed through 2013.

The Ravens' right tackle a season ago, Oher has shifted back to the blindside in 2012, grading out neutrally in Pro Football Focus' ratings. It's doubtful the Ravens are pursuing a new deal with urgency, though locking up tackles on the cheap is never a bad idea.

The Ravens are "moving forward" with Michael Oher as their left tackle.

Oher will stay on Joe Flacco's blindside as the Ravens transition to a younger line to better handle the tempo of the no-huddle heavy offense. Veteran Bryant McKinnie is being kept on the roster as an insurance policy for Oher and rookie RT Kelechi Osemele.

Ravens RT Michael Oher revealed that he slightly tore his right meniscus in the second quarter of the Divisional Round win over the Texans.

Ravens RT Michael Oher picked up two penalties and gave up a sack to Chris Long during Sunday's win over the Rams.

The good news is that Oher didn't get flagged for any of his trademark false starts. The bad news is he got slapped with a holding penalty and an illegal use of hands flag. Oher is not living up to his massive physical upside right now.

Michael Oher - T - Ravens

Ravens RT Michael Oher picked up two false start penalties in Week 2 after getting flagged eight times for the offense last season.

It's becoming a real problem for Oher, who seems to be regressing. Coach John Harbaugh called the false starts illogical, saying Oher doesn't need to try to get off to such a quick start.

Michael Oher - T - Ravens

Coach John Harbaugh confirmed that he sees Michael Oher as a long-term left tackle.

After Oher struggled on Joe Flacco's blind side a year ago, there had been talk of moving him back to the right tackle spot where he excelled as a rookie. But without free agent Jared Gaither, Harbaugh doesn't really have a choice. "Michael Oher is a lot more athletic than a lot of right tackles. ... I see no reason why he can't be a top left tackle in this league," said Harbaugh.

Michael Oher - T - Ravens

Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome confirmed that the team plans to keep Michael Oher at left tackle in 2011.

That's assuming they don't bring in a new starter in free agency and kick Oher to the right. For now, the Ravens intend to work third-round pick Jah Reid at right tackle and hope he proves starting-capable. The other hope is that Oher will make a big leap after struggling in his first year on the blind side.

Ravens OL coach Andy Moeller is expected to be suspended at least one game and fined after being found guilty of DUI on Monday.

He was also sentenced to two years' probation. The NFL set a precedent for arrests like Moeller's when it suspended ex-Lions DL coach Joe Cullen for a game and fined him $20,000 for being arrested on two alcohol-related charges in 2006. Lions club president Tom Lewand was fined $100,000 and suspended 30 days for a driving while impaired arrest last summer.

Michael Oher - T - Ravens

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that he is not opposed to the idea of keeping Michael Oher at left tackle.

Harbaugh added that he "doesn't know if (free agent) Jared Gaither will be back." Oher was far better at right tackle in 2009 than left tackle in 2010. As a rookie, Pro Football Focus credited Oher with five sacks allowed and 11 penalties. Those numbers jumped to nine sacks and 13 penalties in his second year, and left tackles are supposed to be better pass protectors.

The Ravens have not ruled out keeping Michael Oher at left tackle.

"Oh yeah, he can do it," Harbaugh said. "I think Michael Oher can play either tackle. What side Mike winds up playing depends on who else is in the mix. I think the sky’s the limit for Michael." Oher had a Pro-Bowl-caliber rookie season at right tackle but struggled on the left side with Jared Gaither out in 2010. He could return to right tackle if the team retains Gaither, but for now the Ravens are operating under the assumption that Gaither will be classified as an unrestricted free agent and test the open market.

NFL Network's Mike Lombardi believes that the Ravens "must" move Michael Oher back to right tackle this offseason.

We don't usually post outsiders' feelings on potential position switches, but Lombardi's sentiment has been echoed by Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun. After a Pro Bowl-caliber rookie season at right tackle, Oher struggled on the left side throughout 2010. The Ravens may have to give re-signing Jared Gaither a long look this offseason. He's a better left tackle than Oher.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he could see Michael Oher remaining at left tackle.

"He's got all the talent to play left tackle," Harbaugh said. After an impressive rookie season at right tackle, Oher struggled in his sophomore campaign while trying to protect Joe Flacco's blind side. Injuries can be partly to blame, though, as he dealt with a multitude of leg ailments. Oher certainly has the athleticism to improve.

Ravens LT Michael Oher (knee, ankle) is no longer on the injury report.

Oher had to leave in the second half of Week 17 after an opposing player fell on his leg, but he appears to be fine now. "I'm good," he said. "I'm all right." Oniel Cousins will be ready to fill in if Oher suffers a setback.
