With the 2025 NFL season now officially concluded, the offseason picture will soon begin to take shape. The first and biggest upcoming period on the docket is free agency, which is only a few weeks away. For the Baltimore Ravens, this free agency cycle will be a significant one.
Coming off a disappointing non-playoff season, the Ravens cleaned house in their coaching staff and will need to retool the roster to quickly return to contender status. The Ravens have clear positional needs this offseason and other areas where they can improve upon current strengths. Free agency is a prime opportunity to do this.
Let’s take a look at some of the top available free agents at one position group, edge rusher, who could be realistic targets for the Ravens to pursue. This will only include external free agents, not the team’s own players who will be hitting the open market.
Odafe Oweh, Los Angeles Chargers
Oweh is one of the top pass-rushers available this offseason and is set to cash in after a strong second-half campaign in 2024 with the Chargers. After was traded from Baltimore to Los Angeles, Oweh recorded 7.5 sacks, 13 quarterback hits, eight tackles for loss and 19 pressures over the final 12 games of the season. He thrived in Jesse Minter’s defensive system and capped it off with a three-sack performance in the AFC Wild Card round of the postseason. Oweh had a disappointing start to the year with the Ravens amidst high expectations but was coming off a career-best season in 2024. He should be ascending into his prime at 27 years old and a reunion with the team that drafted him — to play under Minter once more — would be a great story.
Boye Mafe, Seattle Seahawks
Mafe was a second-round pick in 2022 and has played all four seasons with the Seahawks. He’s fluctuated between a starting and rotational role during his career thus far but has proven he can be an impact player. Mafe’s production dipped across the board in 2025 as his playing time decreased. In 31 games (27 starts) over the previous two years, though, Mafe totaled 15 combined sacks along with two forced fumbles, 28 quarterback hits, 17 tackles for loss and 46 pressures. The former Minnesota product has high-level athletic traits and has likely yet to hit his full ceiling at 27 years old. Some team will take a bet on him as a guaranteed rotational contributor with the chance to become more — the Ravens profile as a solid fit.
Bradley Chubb, Miami Dolphins
Chubb just recently joined the free agent market after he was released by the Dolphins earlier this month. The 30-year-old veteran is likely to have numerous suitors as a big-name, former No. 5 overall pick. Chubb played five seasons for the Denver Broncos, who drafted him, before being traded halfway through 2022. He missed the entire 2024 campaign with a torn ACL but played 17 games last season, totaling 8.5 sacks, 22 pressures, 20 quarterback hits, and two forced fumbles. Injuries have been a recurring issue for Chubb but when healthy, he’s proven to be a disruptive impact player. He’s only two years removed from leading the NFL in forced fumbles with six, along with 11.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss and career-highs in tackles (73) and quarterback hits (22).
Khalil Mack, Los Angeles Chargers
Mack is one of the oldest free agents available at 35 years old. Despite his age, the 12-year veteran has demonstrated in recent years that he can still be a valuable defensive contributor. Mack is three seasons removed from racking up a career-best 17 sacks. He’s made 27 starts over the past two years and produced combined totals of 11.5 sacks, 26 quarterback hits, six forced fumbles and 45 pressures. Mack is no longer in his athletic prime but is plenty effective in a rotational role. Like Oweh, he could be a candidate to follow Minter from Los Angeles to Baltimore. The Ravens have a history signing big-name veterans who are older and getting good performance out of them. Mack would be a good fit from an on-field perspective and also as a locker room presence.
K’Lavon Chaisson, New England Patriots
Another former first-round pick, Chaisson is coming off the best season of his six-year career. The 2020 LSU product had underwhelmed in his tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars through the first four years of his NFL journey before joining the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 and New England Patriots in 2025. With the Patriots, Chaisson started 10 of 16 games and played 67% of the team’s defensive snaps (639 total). Chaisson racked up career-best marks in sacks (7.5), quarterback hits (18), forced fumbles (two), and pressures (23), among other categories. He also returned a fumble for a touchdown. At just 26 years old, Chaisson could be a late bloomer and establish himself now as a consistent impact defender.
