According to Lamar Jackson, he’s lost more weight this offseason and is now down to 205 pounds. Just two years ago, he was reportedly at 230. According to his teammate, Ravens TE Isaiah Likely, the leaner and meaner Jackson is also faster. In an appearance on the YouTube show “Up & Adams” on Thursday, he Likely claimed that he didn’t recognize Jackson when he first saw him this offseason due to the franchise quarterback’s more svelte appearance. Lively said the dropped weight has made Jackson even faster now. “Y’all thought L was fast before, if y’all thought you couldn’t catch L before ..read more

Now that we’ve been through all 257 picks, it’s time for a breakdown and slight evaluation of the draft haul for all four AFC North teams. Last season, three teams from the division made the playoffs, and the Bengals were a Joe Burrow wrist injury away from making it four. Experts say Baltimore and Pittsburgh had the best classes, while Cincinnati and Cleveland quietly added critical pieces to championship rosters. With rookie minicamp for two teams set to begin, we’re looking at the draft haul for all four AFC North squads ..read more

Eric DeCosta has done a seamless job of following Ozzie Newsome’s blueprint for building a roster for sustained success, and the loyalty goes beyond the quarterback position. Baltimore is among the league leaders in cash paid out, and the general manager has somehow managed to accrue an available $8,606,568 in cap space, not counting the nine-player 2024 NFL draft class. Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap recently ranked the top ten teams in the NFL by who had the most future fully guaranteed salary being paid out. The breakdown was for the 2025 season and beyond, excluding quarterbacks and uns ..read more

In NCAA CFB last season, Baltimore Ravens rookie offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten played for all 15 games. Rosengarten was a powerhouse in a Washington Huskies offense that produced 5,155 total passing yards in 2023. If Rosengarten effectively protected rookie Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in college, perhaps Ravens’ general manager Eric DeCosta hopes Rosengarten can lessen the sacks allowed on quarterback Lamar Jackson. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Roger Rosengarten (@rosengarten) Although offensive linemen are rarely the poster boys for the NFL Draf ..read more

Arguably the top trending topic, not just for the NFL but for sports (and some might say even pop culture itself) in general was Sunday night’s roast of Tom Brady. And for some reason, former Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman had the best seat in the house. If you have a Netflix account, I strongly suggest you watch it. If you don’t, then I would recommend going on your social media platform of choice and finding the video clips of the funniest and most controversial jokes. First you must first prepare yourself though. No topic was off limits, and even if it takes a lot to offend you, you ..read more

We’re six days away from the 2024 NFL schedule reveal, and only the Packers and Eagles know their Week 1 opponents. Philadelphia and Green Bay will face off in Brazil on a Friday night.

The league uses multiple factors to determine the year’s game schedule. There’s a cycle of inter-conference faceoffs; each NFC division rotates through each AFC division every four seasons and ..read more

Baltimore finished first in the AFC during the 2023 regular season, and even after adding Derrick Henry, a trip to the Super Bowl will be a journey, as the schedule will only get even more difficult. The schedule reveal is now just seven days away, and we have some unofficial idea of what the 2024 slate will look like. Baltimore will play nine games on the road and eight games at M&T Bank Stadium and will face ten of last year’s postseason teams.

The NFL draft is completed, and after a strong showing at the rookie minicamp, Baltimore has a stacked, championship-caliber roster. However, there’s room to add another quality contributor or under-the-radar starter. The Ravens have few holes or open spots on offense, but a still unsigned free agent could pull a Zach Cunningham or Jadeveon Clowney, resurrecting their careers on one-year deals signed later in the spring or summer. With OTAs and the mandatory minicamp fast approaching, we’re looking at ten unsigned free agents who could bring value or production to Baltimore ..read more
