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...
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...
Three competitions to key in on for the Ravens’ mandatory minicamp this week.
The Baltimore Ravens gather for mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and there’s a host of roles players will be vying for. In unique circumstance, the majority of the Ravens’ top players are returning, yet many important positions will be sifted through to find the starters.
The left guard role has been a revolving door for a few years. It hasn’t been a bad rotation — especially when they had Mekari throughout the years to be a sixth-man before seizing the role in 2024, it’s...
This second-year safety has a prime opportunity ahead
New players emerge as worthwhile contributors to their respective teams in the NFL every season. Despite having one of the league’s best rosters on paper, the Baltimore Ravens will need a few unknown players to step up and fill roles on both sides of the ball.
Today’s Question of the Day is:
My answer: Sanoussi Kane
Baltimore suddenly has a need at the safety position after Ar’Darius Washington tore his Achilles during offseason conditioning. While the two starters...
The Baltimore Ravens were among the league’s best as a team in a number of different offensive and defensive rankings last season. From an individual perspective, they similarly had several players rank highly and produce career-best campaigns.
As the 2025 season approaches, who will lead the Ravens in the major offensive and defensive statistical areas? Let’s break it down with some early predictions.
Prediction: QB Lamar Jackson
This is self-explanatory, as Jackson will undoubtedly lead the Ravens in every major passing category. The only question is how he’ll follow up a historic statistical...
Every year, the Ravens seem to have at least one or two younger players develop and emerge as Pro Bowl-caliber talents. In recent seasons, the likes of Zay Flowers, Nnamdi Madubuike, Tyler Linderbaum, and Kyle Hamilton earn their first career Pro Bowls selections. Flowers was named a first-time Pro Bowler in 2024, while the latter four have now made the Pro Bowl in back-to-back seasons.
The Ravens are also typically near the top of the league in Pro Bowl nominations. Last season, they had a league-high nine players named to the Pro Bowl roster. With team success comes high recognition,...
When you have the greatest in franchise history as your starter, it’s hard pivoting to the younger player who may be greater.
One of my favorite stories in the history of football is the Bedlam Series of 1987. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are facing the Oklahoma Sooners.
“It was my senior year. We were getting ready to play the University of Oklahoma,” Cowboys running back Thurman Thomas said in an interview on A Football Life: Barry Sanders. “And Barry Switzer, who is the head coach at the University of Oklahoma said, ‘Whatever you do: Don’t. Hurt. Thurman.’ And I was...
Ravens pass rush coach Chuck Smith shared that it was Defensive Coordinator Zach Orr was the one to turn the Ravens’ defense around in 2024.
Five weeks into the season, the Baltimore Ravens sat with a 3-2 record. They’d lost by a toe against the Kansas City Chiefs in the opener, 20-27, but followed up with a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, 23-26. Only their win over the Buffalo Bills, 35-10, was a true defensive showing. They’d allowed 25.2 points per game, and 280.2 passing yards per game.
Three days after their overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals,...
Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews are both next in line to receive big paydays amongst their respective position groups.
The Ravens have been one of the most-successful teams of the past decade and there’s no one in the building that wants to see that change anytime soon. To make that happen, the good players have to keep getting paid, and paid, and paid.
Coming up shortly, Baltimore will potentially have two stars in line for massive pay days. One is quarterback Lamar Jackson and this one is the most no-brainer decision they could possibly have. But the other is tight...
The Ravens’ trios on offense and defense are — or among — the NFL’s elite.
The Ravens’ enter the 2025 season chock-full of talent. Their star-studded cast spans from on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
Offensively, they take the No. 1 spot in Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame’s offensive triplets rankings.
Triplets: QB Lamar Jackson, RB Derrick Henry, WR Zay Flowers
“No team has a better trio than the Ravens. Jackson is a two-time MVP and three-time first-team All-Pro, while Henry is coming off a second-team All-Pro campaign with more than 2,000 yards from scrimmage,” Verderame wrote....
Lamar Jackson tops NBC Sports’ Chris Simms quarterback rankings.
Though NBC Sports’ Chris Simms has been a frequent supporter of Lamar Jackson, he has failed to rank him among his top three quarterbacks in annual rankings. That was until this season, where Jackson topped Simms’ list.
“Nobody’s playing quarterback right now better than Lamar Jackson,” Simms said. “He’s conquered something that I’ve only seen a few people conquer in my whole life with his skillset. Arguably the greatest running quarterback in the history of the game, he has become unreal in the pocket [with] making decisions throwing the football.”
Jackson’s...
After catching 11 touchdowns in 2024, some analysts believe Mark Andrews could still be entering a make-or-break season with the Ravens.
When Mark Andrews began the 2024 season by going scoreless through the first five games of the season, many wondered if the standout tight end was about to experience a major regression at age 29. However, once he found the end zone for the first time, Andrews turned into a snowball that just kept on rolling through the final game of the season.
Andrews finished the 2024 season with a career-high 11 touchdowns, including scoring in each of the...
