Baltimore Ravens 2025 free agents. Who are the priority?

The Baltimore Ravens’ season ended on Sunday, which means General Manager Eric DeCosta’s job to begin building for next season has begun.

Currently, the Ravens are projected by overthecap.com to have $17.1 million in cap space (with $6.5 million in “effective cap space”), while having 22 pending free agents.

Key Free Agents

LT Ronnie Stanley

Over the course of the regular season, Stanley surged from hampered, lingering-injury struggles to impressive form. He missed no games or practices and was a leader for the offensive line and team. He finished the season allowing 35 total pressures on 575 pass blocking snaps, and allowed just two sacks in a division boasting some of the greatest pass rushers of this era. It won’t be easy to re-sign Stanley, as he’ll command around $20 million or more.

S Ar’Darius Washington

After the unrecognizable fall-off from Marcus Williams, the Ravens will need to add a safety this offseason or re-sign Washington. With him being a restricted free agent, the Ravens could place a tender on Washington of first- second- or original-draft round and have the right of first refusal.

If the Ravens do not tender Washington, he will become an unrestricted free agent. And if he signs elsewhere after doing so, Washington would not count towards the compensatory pick award system.

OL Patrick Mekari

A long-time work-horse for the Ravens who has started at all five positions along the offensive line in his career. And after a year of starting for the Ravens at left guard following the injury of Andrew Vorhees, he has the tape and argument to command more than versatile sixth-man money. His value as a versatile player has been critical for the Ravens but becoming younger and stronger along the line — paired with Mekari’s higher price tag, the Ravens may not see him return as a Raven.

FB Patrick Ricard

The five-time Pro Bowler has been a key ingredient to the Ravens’ historically great rushing attack. He clearly has a lot left to offer, even at 30 years old. If the Ravens are going to get younger along the line, having Ricard remain to bulldoze lanes for running backs and Jackson will work.
