Successful NFL teams always do due diligence on the best talent, and the Ravens are among the teams hoping to learn more about Ashton Jeanty.
According to Ryan Fowler, Baltimore is among nine teams scheduled for a formal visit with the former Boise State star running back.
Baltimore has pick No. 27 in the first round, and Jeanty would have to suffer a dramatic fall for him to land anywhere near where the Ravens will select.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jeanty, viewed as the top prospect at his position for the 2025 NFL Draft, will not work out for teams at the NFL scouting combine this week.
The running back will participate in on-field drills during Boise State’s pro day.
Jeanty, 21, rushed for 2,601 yards and 23 touchdowns last season for the Broncos. That rushing yardage led the nation and left Jeanty 28 yards away from breaking Barry Sanders’ record for a single season. He finished as the runner-up to Travis Hunter in Heisman Trophy voting and won the Maxwell and Doak Walker awards for his 2024 performance.
During his three seasons at Boise State, Jeanty rushed for 4,769 yards and 50 touchdowns, and he added 80 receptions for 862 yards and six scores. He was named a first-team All-American twice.

A live, updating post of all the 2025 Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 offseason moves: trades, signings, cuts and re-signings.
After reaching the AFC Divisional Round, the Ravens have their work cut out for them in building their 2025 roster as they look to get over their postseason woes and build a team that can cross the threshold and into the Super Bowl.
Currently, the Ravens sit at $10.54 million in cap space, with $7.5 million in “effective cap space,” according to overthecap.com. It won’t be easy to navigate free agency when they have the seventh-lowest amount of cap space. It will also be a challenge as the Ravens have a few of their key players as free agents, and other teams are showing interest in them.
This is a live, updating post to keep track of each of Baltimore’s moves in a busy offseason. It’s also a nice resource to look back and see how the Ravens did over the previous offseasons (2024, 2023, 2022).

The Baltimore Ravens re-sign left tackle Ronnie Stanley to a three-year, $60 million deal with $44 million guaranteed.
Two days before the NFL’s negotiating period, the Baltimore Ravens locked down their left tackle position by re-signing Ronnie Stanley.
Ronnie Stanley Stats
Ronnie Stanley has played 10 nine NFL seasons. He’s played 104 games, and started all 104. In 2024, Ronnie Stanley played 100% of team snaps (1,221), the second-most snaps of any tackle. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2024.
What Is the Contract?
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Stanley and the Ravens agreed upon a three-year, $60 million deal. Comparing that to the left tackle market, that ties Detroit Lions’ Taylor Decker with $20 million AAV, and ranks No. 8.
According to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz, Stanley will receive $44 million in guaranteed money. A significantly higher amount over Decker ($31.83 million).
Why It Made Sense to Re-Sign Ronnie Stanley
The Ravens are firmly in their championship window with quarterback Lamar Jackson; keeping him upright and with a left tackle he has full trust in was pertinent to the sustained success of the offense. With the NFL Draft class not as strong at tackle, and few true options in free agency, it was their top priority to securing Stanley. It also likely will help their cap situation.
How does the signing of Ronnie Stanley impact the Ravens’ offseason?
With Stanley now under contract, the Ravens can focus on other areas both in free agency and the draft. With two days before the negotiating period, the Ravens don’t have to navigate balancing the possibility of Stanley while also pursuing contingency plans. It allows General Manager Eric DeCosta to look elsewhere in the offseason for additions with the knowledge both of their offensive line secured along with what their cap space looks like entering the free agency period.

Breaking down the individual seasons of every player who played meaningful snaps this past year.
With the 2024 season officially in the books and the start of the new league year a week away, it’s the perfect time to review the Baltimore Ravens one position group at a time before completely turning the page forward to gearing up for 2025.
In the next installment of this article series, the defensive linemen are up after a year where they were the driving force behind the NFL’s top run defense and aided in elevating one of the top pass-rushing units.

After breaking the bank following a breakout 2023 campaign in which he led all interior defensive linemen in the league with sacks and earned both Pro Bowl and Second Team All Pro honors, Madubuike entered the 2024 season with elevated expectations. With a proven pedigree and a new tax bracket came more attention from opposing offenses trying to limit his impact and was still a disruptive force. He was being double and triple-teamed at a much higher rate this past season compared to the year before and saw his sack and quarterback hits totals cut in half down to 6.5 sacks and 17 from 13 and 33 in 2023 but was still received his second straight Pro Bowl nod.
The Ravens firmly believe that sacks aren’t everything especially when it comes to evaluating the full scope of a pass rusher’s impact. Madubuike’s presence helped raise the level of play of those around him and the extra blockers and sliding of protection that were devoted to keeping him at bay allowed some of his teammates to wreak havoc and they did. The Ravens finished second in the league in sacks with outside linebackers reaching double digits in sacks. When the Ravens needed a play made upfront down the stretch and in the playoffs, Madubuike often answered the call whether it was a sack, tackle for loss or key pressure. He led the team in sacks during the playoffs including two against the Steelers for his second game of the season with multiple.

The 2022 third-rounder’s 2024 season was a prime example of sacks aren’t everything as he just had one in the regular season and none in the playoffs yet he was dominant for most of the year as both an interior pass rusher and run stuffer. Jones regularly parted double-teams like Red Sea and gobbled up ball carriers for big stops at and behind the line of scrimmage. He was a driving force for the Ravens’ top-ranked rush defense and recorded a career-high 42 total tackles including four for a loss and four quarterback hits.
Michael Pierce

While the Ravens finished the regular season with the top rushing defense, they didn’t hold that mantle from start to finish but the veteran nose tackle played an integral role in helping them finish atop the rankings. It’s not a coincidence that the most inconsistent stretch the unit went through when it came to slowing down opposing running games occurred during the time Pierce was on injured reserve with a calf strain. From Week 9-13, they gave up three of their six 100-yard rushing games including a regular-season-high 140 to the Philadelphia Eagles before the bye week.
Upon his return, they got back to dominating in the trenches against the run, allowing an average of 71.5 yards on the ground in the final four games. In 13 games including the playoffs, Pierce recorded three sacks, five quarterback hits, 25 total tackles including two for a loss and his first career interception in the regular season finale on a phenomenal play where he dropped into coverage and broke on the ball.

The fifth-year veteran saw a slight uptick in his playing time this past season, being on the field for 45% of total defensive snaps which is up from 38% in 2023. Washington continued to do the dirty work on early downs against the run while flashing his ability as an interior pass rusher when he could, tying his single-season career-high of two for the second year in a row. He appeared in 15 games and recorded 21 total tackles including one for a loss, two quarterback hits, two pass breakups and his first career forced fumble.
Brent Urban

Despite being the only defensive lineman not to record a sack or quarterback hit a year after logging career-highs in both the year before with three and six, the 11-year veteran defensive end still found was to make his presence felt in the games he appeared in. Urban was active for 13 regular season games as an early down run defender. He recorded 20-plus total tackles for the third year in a row since returning to Baltimore and even though he didn’t get home for a sack, he was able to bat down a pair of passes at the line of scrimmage for incompletions.

Nearly a dozen pass catchers, running backs and quarterbacks who showed out in front of scouts and executives.
The last group of offensive skill position prospects to hit the field at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday were quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers after tight ends were the first on Friday night. With room to improve and reinforce their depth at all four positions, the Baltimore Ravens were watching these NFL hopefuls closely to see which ones could best fit their needs.
Here are the offensive skill position standouts from the second and third days of testing and workouts who fit the Ravens:
Wide Receivers
Jaylin Noel, Iowa State: The former Cyclone continued to boost his draft stock in the latest stage of the pre-draft process with a sensational performance at the Combine in both athletic testing and on-field workouts. His blazing 4.39 in the 40-yard dash tied for the sixth-fastest among receivers and he tied for the third-fastest 10-yard split (1.51) and best mark in the vertical leap (41.50), fifth-best marks in the three-cone (6.82) and 20-yard shuttle (4.17), recorded the best broad jump (11-foot-2) and posted the most bench press reps with 23.
Noel increased his production every season of his collegiate career and reached a crescendo in his senior year when recorded 80 catches for a team-leading 1,194 receiving yards and eight touchdowns with an average of 14.9 yards per catch. In addition to being a dynamic playmaker as a pass catcher, he could help the Ravens on special teams as a returner as well. He returned kicks and punts all four years and averaged a career-high 15.3 yards per punt return as a senior in 2024. With his performance at the Combine, Reese’s Senior Bowl and another chance to show out at his Pro Day, Noel is a Day 2 lock so taking him in the second or third round could be in the cards for the Ravens.
Jack Bech, TCU: While he didn’t run a 40-yard dash or crack the top five in any of the athletic testing outside of the bench press where he posted the second-most reps among receivers behind Noel with 19, he shined bright when it came to actual football activities. Bech showed off the same crisp route-running and strong hands that made him one of the stars of the Senior Bowl and eventually led to him being named MVP of the All-Star game. He was disciplined and explosive going through the gauntlet drill, clocking a top speed of over 20 miles per hour and tracked the ball well downfield on deep routes.
Bech is coming off a breakout senior season in which recorded career highs with 62 catches for 1,094 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. In a receiver class that lacks an abundance of size at the position, the 6-foot-1 and 214-pounder is poised to come off the board sometime on Day 2 and could go as high as the second round.
Jayden Higgins, Iowa State: Noel wasn’t the only former Cyclone who put on a show at the Combine when it came to both testing and on-field drills. Higgins also had himself a day, putting up comparable marks in the 40-yard dash (4.47), 10-yard split (1.53), vertical leap (39) and broad jump (10-foot-8). His numbers are arguably just as, if not even more, impressive in certain aspects given he is five inches taller and 10 pounds heavier at 6-foot-4 and 214 pounds. He played in just one fewer game than Noel this past season and led the team with 87 catches and nine touchdowns and had just 11 fewer receiving yards with a career-high 1,183. Higgins is one of the few natural ‘X’ receivers in this year’s class is exactly the type of player at the position the Ravens’ depth chart needs and he could also be a target sometime on Day 2.
Jayden Higgins scored a 9.87 out of 10.00 on his RAS Score.
He ranked 46 out of 3,408 WR’s from 1987 to 2025 (Per: @MathBomb).

Jaylin Lane, Virginia Tech: If the Ravens strike out on Noel, the former Hokie is another undersized yet explosive receiver prospect with an ability to contribute as a returner who had an impressive all-around showing at the Combine. Among receivers, Lane tied for the third-fastest time in the 40-yard dash (4.34), clocked the second-fastest 10-yard split (1.50), had the second-best vertical leap (40.00), third-best broad jump (11-foot), second-best three-cone (6.75) and third-best 20-yard shuttle (4.12). He was used more as an underneath target in college but showed he can be proficient at longer developing and vertical routes well during on-field drills.
Lane’s most productive receiving season came in 2022 at Middle Tennessee State when he recorded 69 catches for 940 receiving yards and five touchdowns. While he never reached 1,000 receiving yards in either of his programs or even eclipsed 600 yards from scrimmage in his two years with the Hokies, he led both conferences in punt returns and punt return yards once with 2024 being the most recent in which he was first in the ACC with 245 yards. The Ravens could him target late on Day 2 or early on Day 3 and have their starting returner box checked off although they won’t make any official declarations until the preseason.
Tight ends
Terrance Ferguson, Oregon: With several of the top prospects in this year’s loaded class at the position not taking part in the Combine either by choice or due to minor injury, the former Duck put on an impressive show of athleticism and skills. He recorded the best or at least top-3 marks at his position in the 40-yard dash (4.63), 10-yard split (1.55), vertical leap (39-foot) and broad jump (10-foot-2). During on-field drills, Ferguson caught the ball well, ran good routes and showed strong led-drive when pushing the blocking sled. He increased his production in all four of his seasons and set career highs in everything but touchdowns with 43 catches for 591 receiving yards, 13.7 yards per catch and had three scores.
All three of the Ravens tight ends are heading into the final years of their respective contracts and general manager Eric DeCosta recently hinted that they could move on from three-time Pro Bowl veteran Mark Andrews this offseason potentially. This makes the position an underrated need and Ferguson an intriguing early Day 3 option if he makes it out of the bottom of the third round.
Mason Taylor, LSU: Even though he didn’t run the 40-yard dash or take part in any of the athletic testing events at the Combine for that matter, the son of Hall of Fame pass rusher Jason Taylor still came away as one of the biggest winners of the week. He has been widely praised for the way he reportedly comported himself in meetings with teams and how he performed on the field in drills catching the ball and running routes. His run through the gauntlet drill was arguably the best of the entire combine as he displayed strong hands, a fluid stride and body control.
Taylor also showed out at the Senior Bowl and is coming off the most productive season of his college career in which he recorded career-highs in receptions (55) and receiving yards (546) and scored a pair of touchdowns. As much as his stock has risen during the pre-draft process, there’s a chance he might not be available early on Day 3 anymore and could be an option for the Ravens in the late third round on Day 2.
Running backs
Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech: Lane wasn’t the only Hokie who turned heads and raised eyebrows during the athletic testing portion of the Combine workouts on Saturday. Tuten’s monster outing was the more impressive of the two as he had better marks in the 40-yard dash (4.32), 10-yard split (1.49) and vertical leap (40.50)—all of which were the top marks among running backs—and he had the second-best broad jump of his position group (10-foot-10).
As a runner on tape, he was a homerun threat waiting to happen on every play with the way he could follow and sometimes even hide behind his blockers, get north and explode upfield where he could unleash his blazing breakaway speed. Tuten is coming off his best season at the FBS level in which he recorded 183 carries, 1,159 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns and 23 receptions for 81 receiving yards and a couple of touchdowns. Like Lane, he can also contribute on special teams as a returner running back kickoffs. As a junior, he racked up 550 kick return yards on 19 attempts and took a pair to the house. Tuten could be a prime target for the Ravens on Day 3 as early as the fourth round.
Quarterbacks
Riley Leonard, Notre Dame: Although Alabama’s Jalen Milroe is a self-proclaimed Ravens fan and is the most athletic quarterback prospect in this year’s lackluster class, the former signal caller for the national championship runner-up Fighting Irish is the more polished passer of two with a pretty high floor and dual-threat ability. Neither took part in any of the athletic testing which left the throwing sessions as the only performance to judge and Leonard was by far the more consistent and accurate. He showed nice footwork, mechanics, touch and delivery especially when it came to ball placement on outbreaking routes and throws downfield.

Leonard also stood out at the Senior Bowl and is coming off a senior season where he racked up 3,767 yards of total offense and 38 combined touchdowns—21 passing and 17 rushing. The Ravens drafted Devin Leary in the sixth round last year out of Kentucky but that shouldn’t and likely won’t dissuade them from taking a better developmental prospect to contend for the backup spot behind Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens veteran linebacker is headed to the Pittsburgh Steelers
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms with Baltimore Ravens free agent linebacker Malik Harrison on a two-year, $10 million deal.
Harrison, 27, was a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. His run-defense and consistency as a depth linebacker and special teams contributor helped him contribute in 76 games for the Ravens, starting in 34.
For the first four years of his career, Harrison saw around 20-25% of defensive snaps a season as his edge-setting and utility helped contribute to the Ravens’ run defense which routinely ranked among the NFL’s best. In 2024, after the struggles of second-year linebacker Trenton Simpson, the Ravens’ veteran depth linebackers, Harrison, Chris Board and Kristian Welch provided more assurance as the defense rounded into top-tier form after Week 11. Harrison saw a single-season high 38% of defensive snaps. He also notched his first career sack in 2024, and finished with two on the season.
This marks the second straight season in which the Steelers have signed a Ravens linebacker after signing inside linebacker Patrick Queen to a three-year, $41 million deal on March 10, 2024.
The absence of Harrison for the Ravens will open a spot on special teams. In his career, Harrison played 76.2% of all special teams snaps (1,558).

The Ravens depth offensive lineman is headed to the Seattle Seahawks.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Seattle Seahwaks have agreed to terms with Baltimore Ravens free agent offensive lineman Josh Jones on a one-year deal worth up to $4.75 million.
Jones, 27, is the first Ravens free agent to be signed this offseason that was not originally a Raven. Instead, he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent his first three seasons with the Cardinals before being traded to the Houston Texans in 2023. He then joined the Ravens on a one year deal in 2024 and played in 16 games as a reserve blocker and extra linemen in heavy packages.
Jones’ addition last season was an excellent case of you’d rather have him and not need him than need him and not have him. The Ravens were confident in left tackle Ronnie Stanley, but due to his injury history, they needed an insurance policy if he were to go down. Whether it would have been Jones or Patrick Mekari — who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday — didn’t matter. They needed depth at offensive line and Jones was there in case of emergency.
Jones played in 16 games this season, with the majority of his snaps on special teams. He played 46 offensive snaps this season (according to Pro Football Reference), helping to pave the way on jumbo packages for the best rushing offense in the NFL.
According to Pro Football Focus, he played 64 offensive snaps, with 52 of them being run-block reps.
With Jones and Mekari gone, the Ravens will need to add depth at offensive line — both through the draft and free agency. Their two best depth linemen — with one being a starter in Mekari — have been signed on the first day of the NFL’s negotiating period.
This leaves the Ravens’ with three tackles on the roster in Ronnie Stanley, who re-signed with the Ravens on Saturday, second-year right tackle Roger Rosengarten, and 2024 undrafted free agent and former Maryland Terrapin Corey Bullock.

The Baltimore Ravens are reportedly signing wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year deal.
For years, Baltimore Ravens fans have hoped and wished for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to become a Raven. Today, it’s come true as the Ravens have reportedly signed Hopkins to a one-year, $5 million deal.
Hopkins, 32, joins the Ravens after years of reported interest from Hopkins in his interest to play with Lamar Jackson and vice versa.
Throughout the past five years, the Ravens have been linked in rumored trade talks for the wideout. Most recently in 2023, just before the 2023 NFL Draft.
Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs traded for Hopkins as they built up for another Super Bowl run. The Chiefs sent the Tennessee Titans a fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-round selection if the Chiefs reached the Super Bowl (they did) and Hopkins played 60% of snaps (he played 51%).
Hopkins will be five years removed from being a Pro Bowl receiver (2020), but his addition still bolsters a receiving corps and is an upgrade for the offense. He remains a threat in the passing game and has produced 2,384 yards and 15 receiving touchdowns the past three seasons.
Hopkins joins a talented receiving duo in Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers, who both put up single-season bests. Flowers finished with 1,059 yards and four touchdowns, earning his first Pro Bowl and first Pro Bowl of any Ravens’ drafted receiver in franchise history, while Bateman totaled 756 yards and nine receiving touchdowns, along with a receiving touchdown in both Ravens playoff games.
With the addition of Hopkins, it’s unlikely the Ravens will now re-sign veteran Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace, instead hoping to use the trio of Bateman, Flowers, Hopkins and further develop 2024 fourth-round pick Devontez Walker.

The Ravens earned the max number of comp picks available for the 2025 draft.
When the Ravens let a handful of talented players walk last season, the expectation was they’d be well rewarded the following year. That vision has been fulfilled with the rest of the draft order announced today, including the compensatory picks.
The Ravens earned the maximum four comp picks allowed in the 2025 draft: a fourth-rounder (136), a fifth-rounder (176), and two sixth-round picks (210 and 212).
The Ravens lost eight players last year that counted toward the comp-pick formula. Patrick Queen was the big one, going for a $13.6 million per year salary that earned the Ravens a fourth, pick number 136. John Simpson and Jadeveon Clowney each counted towards a fifth-round pick but signing Derrick Henry canceled out Simpson, giving the Ravens pick number 176 for Clowney. Geno Stone and Kevin Zeitler earned the Ravens pick numbers 210 and 212 in the sixth round. Ronald Darby also counted a sixth-round pick in the formula as well as Devin Duvernay and Gus Edwards as seventh-round picks, but each team can only earn a max of four compensatory picks in each draft so they don’t count.
As the Ravens get rewarded for last year's free agency losses, it’s nice to keep the picks in mind as this year's free agency period starts. Brandon Stephens and Patrick Mekari look to have already earned spots in the formula for the 2026 draft.

The Ravens officially tendered safety Ar’Darius Washington, a restricted free agent.
Entering free agency, safety Ar’Darius Washington had completed the final year of his contract with the team. But rather than being an unrestricted free agent able to sign wherever he’s offered, Washington was a restricted free agent. The Ravens had multiple options on what to do with their 2021 undrafted rookie, and opted to tender him.
The Ravens opted to use the Right-of-first-refusal tender, which means Washington will be on a one-year, $3.263 million contract. And if another team is looking to sign him, they first must submit an offer sheet to the Ravens. The team will send a contract Washington is willing to sign, and the Ravens get a chance with their Right-of-first-refusal tender to match the deal. If the Ravens do, they sign Washington. If they don’t, the team offering the contract then signs Washington and the Ravens receive nothing.
The Ravens had multiple options with regard to Washington’s tender. They could’ve used a first- or second-round tender. Both come with higher pay — meaning higher salary cap implications — which is likely why they used the Right-of-first-refusal tender.
First-round tender: $7.458 or 110% of prior-year salary, whichever is greater
Second-round tender: $5.346 million, or 110% of prior-year salary, whichever is greater
Had the Ravens applied either tender to Washington, any team looking to add him would’ve been forced to give the Ravens whichever round of draft pick in exchange. And while the Ravens likely would’ve accepted a first- or second-round pick for another team to add him, the odds are near zero any team values Washington enough to part with such a high pick.
Speculation is Washington’s not too thrilled about being low tendered. On March 9, he tweeted “Bet.” and “[Standing On Business] all 2025 regardless..”.

The Ravens have re-signed wide receiver Tylan Wallace to a one-year deal.
According to multiple reports, the Baltimore Ravens have re-signed wide receiver and special teams returner Tylan Wallace to a one-year deal.
Wallace, 25, remains in Baltimore having spent his past four seasons with the team who drafted him in the foruth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
In the first three seasons of his career, Wallace struggled to find playing time on offense, generating five catches on 15 targets for 67 yards. However, he did score a game-winning overtime 76-yard punt return touchdown in 2023 against the Los Angeles Rams.
TYLAN WALLACE ICES THE GAMEpic.twitter.com/On4jjuacED
— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) December 10, 2023
In Year 4, Wallace earned more opportunities and made the most of them, catching 11 of 12 targets and finished with 193 yards and a touchdown. The biggest one of all being an 84-yard receiving touchdown from Lamar Jackson to put the Ravens within a point during their 35-34 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The return of Wallace rounds out the Ravens’ receiving corps led by Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, new addition DeAndre Hopkins and sophomore Devontez Walker.
It also gives the Ravens at least one surefire return specialist, an area they’ve bounced around with between Wallace, Desmond King and Deonte Harty in 2024.

The Ravens have created cap space in the form of restructuring cornerback Marlon Humphrey’s contract
One way or another, the Baltimore Ravens needed cap space. After entering with around $10 million before the beginning of free agency and a litany of moves, restructures were inevitable. According to Russell Street Report’s Brian McFarland, the restructure has arrived in the form of cornerback Marlon Humphrey’s deal.
“The Ravens have done a max restructure with Marlon Humphrey by reducing his $18 million salary and roster bonus to the league minimum of $1.255 million and converting $16.745 million to a bonus,” McFarland wrote. “Two void years were added. The restructure creates $13.396 million in 2025 cap space.”
The addition of void years onto contracts continues as the Ravens surge toward winning a Super Bowl with the star power on their roster. With a highly talented squad and the window tightening with their current roster makeup, the Ravens are appearing to make another mighty push for a championship.
Among the players they’ve signed with void years on deals includes wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., nose tackle Michael Pierce, left tackle Ronnie Stanley, defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, Humphrey and quarterback Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens sign a depth linebacker and ace special teamer after the both Malik Harrison and Chris Board signed elsewhere.
According to reports, the Baltimore Ravens have signed linebacker and special teams ace Jake Hummel to a one-year deal.
Hummel, 26, joined the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Los Angeles Rams. After setting the franchise record for most tackles in a preseason, he earned a spot on the 53-man roster.
Hummel played seven games his rookie season before being placed on injured reserve in 2022 due to a hip injury.
The hip didn’t appear to cause a lingering issue in Hummel’s game as he went on to play each game the next two seasons for the Rams.
In the past two seasons, Hummel has played 711 special teams snaps (78% of Rams’ ST snaps) and 117 snaps on defense.
The addition of Hummel is a clear move to bolster the Ravens’ special teams unit after the departures of both Malik Harrison and Chris Board, who were signed on Monday by the Steelers and Giants, respectively.
Hummel’s NFL highlight through three years was pancaking a Buffalo Bills’ punt blocker onto their back and blocking a punt which was returned for a touchdown in December 2024.

The Baltimore Ravens announced they’ve re-signed offensive lineman Ben Cleveland.
The Baltimore Ravens announced on Saturday they have re-signed offensive lineman Ben Cleveland.
This comes as a mighty surprise as Cleveland, a 2021-third-round pick, played a career low 49 offensive snaps in 2024 as he lost the starting competition for either offensive guard role against Andrew Vorhees and Daniel Faalele.
More notably, Cleveland was arrested on February 15 and booked for driving under the influence of alcohol and failure to drive within a single lane.
From TMZ Sports:
Strictly on the field, Cleveland has failed to maintain a starting role in the offensive line rotation. In his career, he’s played 54 games, seven as a starter.
Keeping Cleveland is a move to retain depth along the offensive line as he does hold up well when on the field.
