Will it be Lamar Jackson or Joe Flacco who ends up winning the honor of being the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens All Quarter Century Team?

Rashod Bateman ‘went through a lot of things with the Cowboys’  before signing extension with Ravens

Rashod Bateman ‘went through a lot of things with the Cowboys’ before signing extension with Ravens

The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec interviewed Rashod Bateman and the wide receiver revealed trade talks with the Dallas Cowboys were more extensive than originally reported.

After the Ravens’ final minicamp practice this offseason, there was a chance the Ravens were moving on from their 2021 first-round pick, Rashod Bateman.

According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, Bateman “wondered if he had played his last game as a Raven.”

Instead, he signed a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension, and will remain in Baltimore through 2029.

But prior, to the deal, Bateman was on the trading block and General Manager Eric DeCosta was looking...

Baltimore Ravens Hidden Gems: 3 Secret Superstars on the 2025 roster

The Ravens are trying to get past the rest of the AFC for the first time in over a decade. Here are three Secret Superstars who could help them get there.

Both John and Him Harbaugh are fond of asking the question-as-credo, “Who’s got it better than us?” It’s part of an overall philosophy they got from their father Jack, and in the case of the John Harbaugh-led Baltimore Ravens, the answer is, “Very few NFL teams.”

At least when it comes to the regular season.

Since Harbaugh became Baltimore’s head coach in 2008, the Ravens have had exactly two...

Kyle Hamilton named as candidate to win DPOY in 2025

Kyle Hamilton named as candidate to win DPOY in 2025

The NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award is the highest possible individual honor for a defensive player to achieve, aside from winning Most Valuable Player — which rarely has happened in recent history. Even more rare is a player winning the DPOY in consecutive seasons. That has happened only three times ever.

Looking ahead to the upcoming 2025 season, there a number of potential candidates to win DPOY and upseat the incumbent winner, CB Patrick Surtain of the Denver Broncos.

According to Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski, Baltimore Ravens’ safety Kyle Hamilton might be able to do just that....

Jaire Alexander named long-shot candidate to win Comeback Player of the Year

Jaire Alexander named long-shot candidate to win Comeback Player of the Year

NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks sees new Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jaire Alexander as a viable Comeback Player of the Year candidate.

The Baltimore Ravens added cornerback Jaire Alexander to be a mainstay of their defense in their surge for a Super Bowl, and while that is still plausible, NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks sees Alexander as a candidate for one of the NFL’s individual accolades. Brooks picked long-shots for all seven major individual awards, and for Comeback Player of the Year, selected Alexander.

“A two-time Pro Bowler in seven seasons with the Packers before being released this offseason, perhaps a change of scenery will...

Who will lead the Ravens in receiving touchdowns in 2025?

Which tight end will score the most touchdowns for the Ravens?

The Ravens have assembled a plethora of weapons for quarterback Lamar Jackson in the passing game, both at wide receiver and tight end. Jackson’s go-to target for his career has been tight end Mark Andrews, who led the team with 11 receiving touchdowns in 2024 despite a slow start to the season. Will the reliable tight end repeat as the team leader, or will he be usurped as Jackson’s favorite target?

Today’s Question of the Day is:

Who will lead the Ravens in receiving touchdowns in 2025?

Ravens Break 5-Year NFL Re-Draft: ‘They Don’t Have a First-Round Miss’

Ravens Break 5-Year NFL Re-Draft: ‘They Don’t Have a First-Round Miss’

Re-drafts are a fun on account of hindsight, but the Ravens don’t need it.

Re-drafts are an entertaining way to pass the time of the dreaded offseason. Looking back at drafts with the power of hindsight to hit on every pick and groan knowing your team could have selected X instead of Y. And last week, Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder attempted a re-draft of every NFL’s team’s worst first-round selection over the past five year. But the power of hindsight wasn’t good enough, because the Baltimore Ravens have hit on eight straight first-round picks in the past five years.

1 superpower for each Ravens’ late-round 2025 rookie

1 superpower for each Ravens’ late-round 2025 rookie

It’s hard to show up as a late-round draft pick. What can each prospect lean on to make an impact?

It’s hard enough as it is for college football players to make an NFL roster and continue their football careers. Most college football players don’t. But when you are a Day 3 draft pick, it becomes even harder to get on the field and show your stuff. Add in being to an already loaded, championship roster and the Ravens' eight(!!!) Day 3 picks might be struggling just to make the 53-man roster.

The best thing these rookies can do is...

Who will be the Ravens’ interception leader in 2025?

Who will be the Ravens’ interception leader in 2025?

Interceptions are one of the most notable individual statistics in football, but in particular on the defensive side of the ball. While the Baltimore Ravens have had one of the league’s better defenses for the past several seasons, they haven’t always been near the top of the team interception list.

Last year, the Ravens’ 12 interceptions ranked tied for 17th among all defenses. All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey accounted for half of the team’s interceptions with a career-high six of his own. In 2023, the Ravens finished third in the NFL with 18 interceptions. That season, Geno Stone’s seven picks led...
