Marlon Humphrey knows Ravens’ defense needs more turnovers in the playoffs

The Ravens have a turnover problem on the both sides of the ball in the postseason

The Ravens’ playoff woes are well documented in the Lamar Jackson era, with the overwhelming focus of critique being placed on the two-time MVP quarterback. Rarely is a game ever won or lost by an individual player, though, no matter how influential that player is. While Jackson has made uncharacteristic mistakes in the team’s postseason losses, other factors have contributed to the disappointing outcomes. One such aspect has been a lack of turnovers by Baltimore’s usually elite defense, which cornerback Marlon Humphrey acknowledged when...

C.J. Mosley attempted reunion with Ravens before ultimately retiring

C.J. Mosley nearly reunited with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring.

The Baltimore Ravens are on a quest for the Lombardi Trophy, with their latest moves indicating they’re all in. And yet, they nearly managed to add another star defender in former 2014 first-round pick C.J. Mosley.

According to WJZ’s Rick Ritter, Mosley was hoping for a reunion with the Ravens to close out his career, and the Ravens were interested. Unfortunately, he could not pass a physical due to a neck injury, which resulted in him retiring on June 19.

Arguably, the biggest weakness for the Ravens’ defensive roster is...

Former Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley announces retirement

The former 2014 first-round pick for the Baltimore Ravens has retired.

After Ray Lewis retired from the Baltimore Ravens following their Super Bowl XLVII win, the team needed to ask for the impossible: a replacement.

Two years later, they came as close one can fairly ask when drafting Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley with the No. 17 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Immediately, Mosley became a force, earning Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honors and second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, behind Aaron Donald.

Mosley would play five seasons for the Ravens and delivered four Pro Bowl and...

The NFL Media world is reacting to the Ravens’ big-time signing of cornerback Jaire Alexander, and all are lauding the execution from General Manager Eric DeCosta.

While there was no dissent, the only complaint about Alexander is the issue of health. But when healthy, he’s among the NFL’s elite.

Trey Wingo: “So the Ravens continue to have an aggressive offseason signing Jaire Alexander to a one-year deal worth $6 million. Listen, this is a quality pickup for the Ravens,” Wingo said. “They already have a really...

On Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens signed cornerback Jaire Alexander to a one-year, $4 million deal. Below are the reactions from contributors of Baltimore Beatdown.


The weakest link of the Ravens’ defense was No. 3 cornerback. The addition of Alexander immediately strengthens it to one of their best units. The talent and skill from Alexander is among the NFL’s best. The concern is the health. He last played 16 games in 2022. Over the past two seasons, he’s played a total of 14 games.

But when on...

According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, Alexander signed a one-year deal worth $4 million, that can be worth up to $6 million. Also, Alexander turned down more money elsewhere to join the Ravens due to being perennial contenders and playing with former teammate and close friend, Lamar Jackson.

On Tuesday, Jackson was asked if he had spoken to Alexander about being available and wanting to play with him. Jackson was blunt in his answer at the post-minicamp practice...

Lamar Jackson urges GM Eric DeCosta to sign CB Jaire Alexander

Shortly after he was released by the Green Bay Packers over a week ago, All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander was immediately linked by many to the Ravens. The Ravens have a history of pursuing established veterans who become available, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Therefore, the speculation comes as no surprise.

The Ravens have in fact been rumored to be on a short list of several teams who are interested in signing Alexander. Adding steam to the train is the fact that Alexander has a relationship with Lamar Jackson, as the two were collegiate teammates together for three...

Ravens defender named amongst rookies with most to prove in 2025

Mike Green fell out of the first round and will likely enter 2025 with a chip on his shoulder because of it.

The Ravens have long been one of the best-drafting teams in all of football and that certainly goes for the last few seasons. They’ve somehow managed to find impact-player after impact-player, some whom have gone on to be named All-Pro or to the Pro Bowl during their first few professional seasons.

This year’s draft looks to be no different. After selecting top safety prospect Malaki Starks in the first round, the Ravens then landed edge rusher Mike Green...
