The Ravens are still in the crux of a potential Super Bowl window.
Still, they’ll look drastically different on both sides of the football after undergoing massive changes to player personnel and the coaching staff.
Eric DeCosta started the off-season with urgency, signing Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension.
After inking Madubuike to a deal, Baltimore seemed to win the first wave of the free agency period after getting Derrick Henry for two years and $16 million. The talented running back could earn $20 million over the course of the deal.
All wasn’t perfect, as the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses. Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere.
Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move.
With the second wave of free agency set to begin, we’re looking at an updated depth chart.
