The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best NFL rosters and are a load-based offensive unit hoping to shed light on record 2024's record performance. The Ravens weren't overly active in the first wave of NFL free agents, but they added Deandre Hopkins to the Deandre Hopkins and added it to the pass game with Jake Hummel as a special team. Baltimore retains Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard and Tyran Wallace, while the restructuring of Marlon Humphrey created $13 million in cap space.
Even with the inactivity and losses of Brandon Stephens, Malik Harrison, Patrick Mekari, Josh Jones and the Chris Board, the team is still in the Super Bowl window.
The team has been halfway through seven OTA meetings and plans to hold a mandatory three-day mini camp in mid-June. The Ravens are important in compensatory drafts and have the option to wait until after June 1 to add more talent to the lineup.
Signing after June 1 will not affect the compensatory draft formula, meaning Baltimore can wait and sign free agents later this summer to build more draft capital in the next season.
In just a few days on June 1, we were looking for ten free agents that the Crows could sign.
The potential depth is that the veteran offensive defender won 93.8% last year, ranking 14th among defenders, according to ESPN.
Last season, Smith had nine sacks and 38 pressures.
Another former Ravens defensive end Judon has 15.5 seasons but only 5.5 sacks in 2024.
Wills may line up in position switches like Mekhi Becton, and he remains a reliable pass blocker with a 92.0% professional pass championship rate.
Eight years after in Denver, Simmons signed with Atlanta. Last season, Simmons recorded two interceptions, seven passes and 62 tackles in 16 games played in 2024, and his PFF-class ranking ranks 113th out of 170 safety.
Blackmon has three interceptions in 2024 and seven in the past two seasons.
White is the responsibility of the pass game and is a smart runner. White started all 17 games with the Arizona Cardinals’ second season, with a total tackle of 137 games, 1 interception, 2.5 sacks, 9 tackle losses and 8 quarterbacks.
The former Hawks, Packer and Bill cornerback excel in area coverage and can be the playmaker for the Ravens looking for close-range Ravens. According to ESPN, Douglas averaged below average on the coverage DVOA metric last season, but ranked third in the league in 2023 among qualified cornerbacks. Douglas lacks big games, with only five passes in 2024, but at least 13 in each of the first three seasons.
If Baltimore wants to move Marlon Humphrey back to the outer corner spot, Ravens can sign Samuel, who once played in the slot. Samuel Jr.
Hilton naturally plays in space as a coverage defender, and in slot machines he offers an aggressive mindset that can tackle and blitz on the edge.
