As the Ravens set their course for this offseason, they’re going to consider their wants and the plan to handle every of them through free company, the draft, or commerce.
That dialog begins with which gamers from their AFC North champion 2023 roster they wish to carry again, and the record is lengthy.
Not figuring out which pending free brokers will return, here is my rating of the Ravens’ wants as they at the moment stand following Super Bowl LVIII:
Offensive Line
Pending free brokers: Kevin Zeitler, John Simpson, Sam Mustipher
Last offseason, the Ravens knew 4 of their 5 returning beginning offensive linemen. This 12 months, each beginning guards are pending free brokers and there are robust selections about whether or not to maneuver on at each sort out spots that may decide how dire their rapid wants are.
Pro Bowl proper guard Kevin Zeitler has already made it clear he want to return. If he does, the different spot might be answered with an inner candidate (Ben Cleveland, Sala Aumavae-Laulu, or Andrew Vorhees).
Tackle is a unique calculation. Left sort out Ronnie Stanley once more handled accidents, admitted he didn’t play as much as his commonplace this season, and has a 2024 salary-cap price of greater than $26 million, per Spotrac. Right sort out Morgan Moses performed by a shoulder damage and is pondering offseason surgical procedure. The Ravens would save $5.5 million by parting methods. Baltimore will a minimum of have to plan for the future or may go for an even bigger overhaul.
