Latest news and updates about the Ravens
For rookies, having veteran mentors to lean on for guidance and assistance in their first year is crucial to their early development. The Baltimore Ravens have developed a reputation for drafting well and putting young players in positions to succeed, which can in part be attributable to often having great mentors throughout the roster. Looking […]
Yuri (@Yuri_Ravens) is almost through the Ravens’ entire draft class! Below are links to his first seven reports, followed by his analysis of fifth-round pick (No. 174 overall) Adam Randall. How can the former Clemson Tiger contribute in Baltimore? Short/Long-Term Projection The Ravens entered the offseason needing additional speed and versatility in the backfield after the […]
The Ravens are in their second week of Organized Team Activities. Here’s a recap of yesterday’s practice! Elite veterans test Ravens’ rookies Iron sharpens iron has been a common mantra in Baltimore for years, but during spring practices, it’s closer to iron forms young, moldable balls of clay. Head coach Jesse Minter talked about the […]
In 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers gave linebacker Patrick Queen the richest external deal in team history, signing the former Baltimore Ravens first-round pick to a three-year, $41 million deal. Queen was a Pro Bowl selection in his first season with Pittsburgh, registering 129 total tackles and forcing two fumbles. He followed that up with a […]
Lamar Jackson addressed a wide range of topics on Wednesday, including his desire to remain with the Baltimore Ravens well into the future when he was pressed about the prospect of future contract talks.
Stefon Diggs has been a free agent since being released by the Patriots after their Super Bowl run, found not guilty of all charges in a Massachusetts court, and is now closer to signing somewhere than at any point since February. Matt Bowen of ESPN made his case Monday for where that somewhere should be. "The Ravens could be a fit for Diggs, but I really like him in L.A. alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams," Bowen wrote. "The Los Angeles Rams attempted 430 passes out of 11 personnel la...
Yuri (@Yuri_Ravens) is back with another Ravens rookie scouting report for fifth-round pick (No. 173 overall) out of Alabama, Josh Cuevas. When Baltimore has double-dipped on tight ends in the past, their second one has emerged as the better player. Will that be the case once again with Cuevas? Short/Long-Term Projection With the departure of Isaiah […]
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson reported to the team's organized team activities on Tuesday after missing a voluntary OTA practice a week ago.
The Baltimore Ravens made plenty of notable additions to their roster through free agency and the draft this offseason. While the potential still exists for them to make more signings this summer, their full crop of players is largely set as OTAs continue and training camp is on the horizon. As usual, there will be […]
Welcome back to Baltimore Beatdown’s mailbag! It’s been a busy offseason for the Ravens, with a brand-new coaching staff, significant additions on both sides of the ball, and sky-high expectations for the 2026 season. The team is starting to take shape, both in terms of the depth chart and the schemes brought in by head […]
Welcome back to Loose Feathers! It was another light news week in Baltimore, but let’s catch up on some minor notes about the Ravens! John Simpson calls Ravens reunion ‘no-brainer’ Simpson hit free agency this offseason after two very different years with the Jets. In 2024, he earned a 77.3 grade from Pro Football Focus […]
The front part of the 2026 schedule for the Indianapolis Colts is loaded: Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, and Steelers headline the toughest matchups. Going to Minnesota and hosting Dallas could be problematic as well. One would also be remiss to ignore the road game in Jacksonville in Week 8. The first half of this thing is […]
I’ll never forget the run the Kansas City Chiefs went on in 2023. It was unlike anything I’ve seen in this dynasty. The defense took its game to an entirely new level. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ postseason performance was that of a legend. Beating the Buffalo Bills or the Baltimore Ravens on the road would have […]
Potential next contract scenarios for Sam LaPorta, Tucker Kraft, Kyle Pitts, Dalton Kincaid, Brenton Strange, and Colby Parkinson, including valuations & predictions for each.
Yuri (@Yuri_Ravens) is back with another Ravens rookie scouting report. We are well into Day 3 with Duke cornerback and fifth-round pick Chandler Rivers, the No. 97 prospect on Baltimore Beatdown’s big board. Short/Long-Term Projection The Ravens’ cornerback room is currently well-stocked, led by 2024 first-round selection Nate Wiggins and longtime veteran Marlon Humphrey, with dependable […]
The Detroit Lions were far more aggressive during the 2026 NFL Draft than their final results suggested, and new video released by the Baltimore Ravens confirmed what had previously only been reported in fragments. The Lions proposed a trade to move from the 17th overall pick to Baltimore's 14th, offering pick No. 118 and a 2027 third-round pick to move up three spots in the first round. Baltimore had interest. Then the Miami Dolphins selected Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor...
Ravens second-round pick (No. 45 overall) Zion Young has officially signed his rookie contract, per a team announcement, completing Baltimore’s 2026 draft class. The team wrapped up their other 10 pick signings relatively quickly with a total cost of just under $16 million against the 2026 salary cap. Rookie contracts are typically a formality, but […]
Ravens News: Ja’Kobi Lane Will Get Targets Rashod Bateman is heading into his sixth NFL season with very little fantasy relevance and a shrinking footprint on the Baltimore Ravens’ offense. The former 27th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has never delivered the consistency his draft pedigree implied. Injuries derailed his first two seasons; [...]
The Las Vegas Raiders had a big, active offseason, starting with a big hail in free agency. While the headliner of the class is big-money, stud center Tyler Linderbaum from the Baltimore Ravens, the Raiders’ free-agent class was much deeper than that. While it was lauded back in March, it is still getting attention. Recently, […]
No suspense here, folks. Lamar Jackson was not at the Ravens’ OTAs on Tuesday, giving Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson, and undrafted rookie Diego Pavia more opportunities in full-team reps. None particularly stood out, though Huntley, as usual, was all smiles, all day, especially when he faked out the entire defense on a QB keeper and […]
Working our way through previewing the Dallas Cowboys 2026 schedule, it is time to look at the Arizona Cardinals. Starting with the Baltimore Ravens, who the Cowboys will play internationally in Brazil, and moving on to the Cardinals is much more than just a bird to bird transition (leaving the Seahawks and Eagles still waiting). […]
Welcome back to another Ravens rookie scouting report. Yuri (@Yuri_Ravens) already covered the first three picks, with fourth-round (No. 133 overall) tight end Matthew Hibner up next! Short/Long-Term Projection With the departures of Charlie Kolar and Isaiah Likely, along with the loss of key blocking presence Pat Ricard this offseason, the Ravens entered the year […]
As teams release their 2026 NFL Draft war room videos, it can sometimes tell us more about the Detroit Lions’ process. We’ve already seen the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens reveal tarde offers they received from the Lions that ended up not going through. But there’s another moment from the Ravens video that involves […]
The Minnesota Vikings will only get one home game during the 2026 preseason, but they’ll be spending it getting prepared against one of the more interesting teams in the AFC. Ahead of their preseason game at U.S. Bank Stadium on 22 August, the Vikings will be hosting the league’s other purple team, the Baltimore Ravens, […]
It’s time for another Ravens rookie scouting report from Yuri (@Yuri_Ravens)! Here are his profiles of Baltimore’s first three draft picks, with a fourth on Indiana wide receiver Elijah Sarratt below!
