About this episode

Ravens 2026 Offseason: New Head Coach, Key Losses, and Draft Focus

The Baltimore Ravens 2026 offseason is in full swing under new head coach Jesse Minter. Despite losing eight key starters, including an All-Pro punter and top tight end, the team secured four compensatory draft picks, tying for the most in the league. The signing of edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year deal strengthens the pass rush.

The safety group, led by All-Pro Kyle Hamilton and first-rounder Malaki Starks, is considered elite, with solid depth. Running backs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali maintain a strong presence, though fullback depth is thin. Edge rushers benefit from Hendrickson, Tavius Robinson, and Mike Green.

The draft is crucial, especially with a deep class incoming. Wide receivers Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers are secure, but depth is lacking. Linebackers rely on Roquan Smith for another hundred-tackle year, despite injury concerns.

New developments include extending Mark Andrews on a three-year, thirty-nine million dollar deal with twenty-six million guaranteed. The defensive line features Travis Jones, with Nnamdi Madubuikes injury recovery being key. Cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins are solid.

As the draft approaches, the Ravens plan to play the best-player-available game, targeting wideouts or linemen early to fill gaps and build on their comp picks for a playoff push.
