The Baltimore Ravens’ roster activity since their crushing playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills has consisted of signing 11 players to reserve/future contracts. In the weeks ahead, that will change.

There will likely be a few cuts. They’ll have around 20 players preparing for either unrestricted or restricted free agency. General manager Eric DeCosta will re-sign several of them, and he’ll almost certainly make a few outside additions, too. The Ravens also could have as many as 11 draft picks to augment their roster.

In other words, things stand to change heading into the start of free agency and the new league year on March 12 and before the three-day NFL Draft gets underway on April 24.

So this feels like a good time to take stock of Baltimore’s roster.

Returning core

Lamar Jackson, QB: Jackson had the best season of his career and could win his third MVP Award. He’ll start 2025 in the unenviable position of having nothing to prove until January.

Derrick Henry, RB: Henry’s two-year deal could have easily been interpreted as “one year and we’ll see.” After the partnership worked out better than anybody could have hoped, the Ravens could seek a contract extension with the star running back.

Justice Hill, RB: Hill was a key component of one of the league’s best offenses and more than validated the two-year contract extension he got in September.

Zay Flowers, WR: The knee injury brought a disappointing end to Flowers’ season, but 1,000-plus yards and a Pro Bowl berth are indicative of his ascending status as a No. 1 receiver.

Rashod Bateman, WR: He stayed healthy and had a breakout year, highlighted by 11 touchdown receptions, including the playoffs. The three-year extension Bateman signed last April has aged well.

Mark Andrews, TE: The franchise stalwart is entering the final year of his deal and coming off a nightmare game in the playoff loss in Buffalo. He could garner trade interest, but Jackson loves his tight ends — and the Ravens would weaken a strength by moving on.

Analyzing Ravens' biggest offseason questions: What's next for Mark Andrews?

Isaiah Likely, TE: Likely has gotten better every year, and if that trajectory continues, he stands to be a top free agent next offseason. The Ravens typically don’t let homegrown players like him out of the building.

Daniel Faalele, G: Despite outside criticism, the Ravens stood by Faalele and believe he made progress in his first year as a starter. They also believe he’ll be even better next season.

Tyler Linderbaum, C: The 24-year-old is already one of the top centers in football, and his role as a leader is growing. Like Kyle Hamilton, he’s eligible for a contract extension this offseason.

Roger Rosengarten, OT: Rosengarten looked the part of a future bookend tackle in starting 14 games as a rookie. He’s a candidate to move to Jackson’s blind side if Ronnie Stanley departs.

Travis Jones, DT: It feels like the 25-year-old still has so much room to grow. He’ll be a major piece on what could be a younger defensive line next season.

Nnamdi Madubuike, DL: His sack total dropped from 13 to 6 1/2 after a hefty contract extension. The Ravens need more bang for their buck next season.

Roquan Smith, MLB: He achieved All-Pro honors and finished fifth in the league in tackles. However, Smith didn’t make the high-impact plays he made in the previous two seasons.

Odafe Oweh, OLB: DeCosta’s decision to pick up Oweh’s fifth-year option last year was prudent, with the 26-year-old registering a 10-sack season.

Tavius Robinson, OLB: The 2023 fourth-round pick took a step forward in his second season and figures to have a growing role in the linebacker rotation.

Kyle Van Noy, OLB: The 33-year-old had a career-high 12 1/2 sacks. Moving on from him is one way to create cap savings, but with a reasonable $6.13 million salary-cap hit for 2025, his production has far exceeded his price.

Marlon Humphrey, CB: The veteran regained his Pro Bowl form and is another Raven who could be in line for a contract extension due to the high salary-cap number.

Nate Wiggins, CB: The first-round pick had a good rookie season and is a defensive building block. The question is who is the Ravens’ No. 3 corner behind him and Humphrey?

Kyle Hamilton, S: He didn’t have the production he had in 2023, yet he was still the team’s best defensive player. He’s on his way to becoming the highest-paid safety in football.

Jordan Stout, P: Stout still battles consistency issues after three seasons on the job. The Ravens, though, don’t seem inclined to use an asset to replace him.

Justin Tucker, K: Despite Tucker’s struggles this season, the Ravens’ decision-makers made it clear that they believe in the likely future Hall of Famer and he’ll be their kicker going forward.

Nick Moore, LS: Moore is expected to be back for his third season as the team’s long snapper, with the Ravens valuing stability with their kicking battery.

Depth pieces

Rasheen Ali, RB: The fifth-round pick didn’t distinguish himself in an injury-plagued rookie season. He’ll face plenty of competition for a roster spot this summer.

Keaton Mitchell, RB: Mitchell never got much of an opportunity in 2024, but it was a win that he even made it back on the field. Another offseason to get over mental and physical hurdles from a horrific knee injury could be pivotal.

Devontez Walker, WR: The Ravens knew the fourth-round pick would need time to develop. He should be in a much better position to contribute in 2025.

Anthony Miller, WR: The veteran spent the season on the practice squad and got some run down the stretch. He re-signed a reserve/futures deal and will compete for a role.

Charlie Kolar, TE: One of three Baltimore tight ends entering the final year of their contracts, Kolar has become a solid blocker and special teams player.

Andrew Vorhees, G: He earned the starting left guard job but then didn’t get it back after a late-September ankle injury. How much the Ravens prioritize adding guards this offseason will say a lot about their thoughts on Vorhees’ potential.

Nick Samac, C: A seventh-round pick, Samac was inactive for every game of his rookie season. He’ll be competing for a reserve O-line spot.

Michael Pierce, NT: The popular veteran didn’t play much after returning from injury, but cutting him this offseason wouldn’t trigger much in the way of cap savings.

Broderick Washington, DT: The veteran hasn’t stood out since his contract extension in 2023. However, he’s quality depth and Baltimore would create minimal cap space by moving on this offseason.

Trenton Simpson, ILB: After losing his starting job in December, Simpson needs a strong offseason to get back in the mix. At the very least, he should be a core special-teamer.

Malik Hamm, OLB: The local product missed all of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. This summer could represent his last chance to carve out a role.

Adisa Isaac, OLB: The third-round pick tweaked his hamstring on the first day of rookie minicamp, setting the stage for a lost first season. He saw action in just four games.

David Ojabo, OLB: The 2022 second-round pick wasn’t able to gain any traction, and his roster spot for 2025 no longer feels like a sure thing. Baltimore would create $1.8 million of cap savings by moving on.

Jalyn Armour-Davis, CB: After another injury-marred campaign, Armour-Davis will enter camp firmly on the roster bubble.

T.J. Tampa, CB: With Brandon Stephens, Arthur Maulet and Tre’Davious White all uncertain to return, the 2024 fourth-round pick will have an opportunity to earn a bigger role. He needs to avoid the nagging injuries that dogged him as a rookie.

Beau Brade, S: Brade made the team as an undrafted free agent. His best chance to stick will be as a core special-teamer.

Sanoussi Kane, S: He played the third-most special teams snaps as a rookie. With the team lacking in safety depth, the 2024 seventh-round pick could push for a defensive role next season.

Devin Leary, QB; Malik Cunningham, WR; Dayton Wade, WR; Zaire Mitchell-Paden, TE; Corey Bullock, OL; Darrian Dalcourt, OL; Adedayo Odeleye, DE; Basil Okoye, DT; C.J. Ravenell, DL; William Kwenkeu, ILB: These reserve/futures signings and the next undrafted rookie class will make up the back end of the roster and have to stand out this summer to make the team.

Decisions due

Asterisk indicates pending unrestricted free agent.

*Josh Johnson, QB: The Ravens have shown no interest in spending notable dollars on a backup quarterback, so you can’t rule out a return for the soon-to-be 39-year-old who’s been a valuable sounding board for Jackson.

Owen Wright, RB: Wright was on the verge of making the team before a late preseason foot injury. He’s an exclusive rights free agent.

*Patrick Ricard, FB: He’s one of the unsung heroes of this team year in and year out, but the cash-strapped Ravens will have to decide whether the perennial Pro Bowler is a luxury or a necessity.

*Nelson Agholor, WR: He’s been a great mentor in a young wide receivers room, but he turns 32 in May and his numbers/opportunities slipped in 2024.

*Tylan Wallace, WR: Wallace didn’t get a ton of opportunities to make plays, but he responded when he did. He’s the type of player the Ravens try to keep.

*Deonte Harty, WR/RS: A free-agent signing last year, Harty battled injuries and never found his footing. He’s unlikely to be back.

*Steven Sims, WR/RS: The waiver claim was shaky as a returner down the stretch. The Ravens need to solidify the punt return role.

*Ronnie Stanley, OT: The Ravens’ most accomplished free agent, Stanley took a significant pay cut to return last year. He’ll likely find more money available this year after he played in every game and made his second Pro Bowl.

*Ben Cleveland, OL: It’s clear that the 2021 third-round pick never gained the trust of coaches, and he’d benefit from a change of scenery.

*Josh Jones, OL: The veteran occupied the sixth or seventh offensive lineman role for Baltimore. His return would provide depth and experience.

*Patrick Mekari, OL: The versatile veteran is beloved in the building, but he could have a good market after starting every game in 2024.

*Brent Urban, DL: The venerable veteran who is widely respected by the Ravens has said he wants to return for an 11th NFL season.

*Malik Harrison, ILB/OLB: The linebacker and core special-teamer is a coaching staff favorite, and the Ravens probably value him more than other teams would.

*Chris Board, ILB: The special teams captain wound up contributing on defense. If the price is right, the Ravens probably will look to re-sign him.

*Kristian Welch, ILB: The Ravens typically devote a handful of roster spots to special teams, which is why they reunited with Welch.

*Brandon Stephens, CB: DeCosta already said he expects Stephens to test the market after a difficult 2024 season.

*Tre’Davious White, CB: He played pretty well after the Ravens acquired him in a trade at the deadline. He could be brought back for depth if the price is right.

Arthur Maulet, CB: After playing just three games in 2024 because of injuries, the 31-year-old is a potential salary-cap cut ($2.3 million in savings).

Christian Matthew, CB: He’s a restricted free agent and a clear non-tender candidate after spending 2024 on injured reserve.

*Trayvon Mullen, CB: He hasn’t played a regular-season game in two seasons, and it seems unlikely Baltimore will keep him around.

Ar’Darius Washington, S: His insertion into the lineup contributed to a defensive turnaround. The Ravens will likely need to use a second-round tender on the restricted free agent.

Decisions already made

*Diontae Johnson, WR: The Ravens traded for Johnson, released him after he refused to enter a game and then re-claimed him on waivers weeks later. That was done partly for compensatory pick reasons. He’s not in their 2025 plans.

Marcus Williams, S: Williams already agreed to an altered contract to accelerate his exit. He’ll go down as one of DeCosta’s biggest free-agent misses.
