A look at Baltimore’s trades, cuts, and signings using the Ravens free-agency tracker
The Baltimore Ravens have been active during the 2025 NFL offseason, making significant moves to strengthen their roster through trades, signings, and re-signings. With a strong emphasis on both bolstering their offense and maintaining defensive stability, the team has made calculated decisions to remain competitive in the AFC. Here’s a comprehensive look at their offseason transactions.
Key Signings
DeAndre Hopkins (Wide Receiver)
The Ravens addressed their need for a veteran wide receiver by signing DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year, $5 million contract. Hopkins, known for his exceptional route-running and hands, is expected to provide quarterback Lamar Jackson with a reliable target and enhance the team’s passing attack.
Cooper Rush (Quarterback)
In a move to solidify their quarterback depth, Baltimore signed Cooper Rush to a two-year, $12.2 million deal. Rush, formerly with the Dallas Cowboys, demonstrated his capability as a backup and will serve as a dependable option behind Lamar Jackson.
Chidobe Awuzie (Cornerback)
The Ravens strengthened their secondary with the acquisition of Chidobe Awuzie on a one-year contract. Awuzie, who was a standout cornerback for the Bengals, is looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued season and contribute significantly to the defense.
Re-signings
Ronnie Stanley (Left Tackle)
Securing protection for Lamar Jackson remains a priority, and the Ravens achieved this by re-signing left tackle Ronnie Stanley to a three-year, $60 million contract. His presence on the offensive line ensures stability in pass protection and run-blocking schemes.
Kyle Van Noy (Outside Linebacker)
Baltimore retained the services of veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy with a two-year, $9 million deal. After recording a career-high nine sacks last season, Van Noy’s return is crucial in maintaining the team’s pass-rushing ability.
Brent Urban (Defensive End)
Defensive end Brent Urban also re-signed on a one-year contract, providing depth and experience along the defensive front. His ability to stop the run and contribute to the defensive rotation remains valuable.
Departures
Patrick Mekari (Offensive Lineman)
Versatile offensive lineman Patrick Mekari departed for the Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving a void in Baltimore’s offensive line depth.
Brandon Stephens (Cornerback)
The Ravens lost cornerback Brandon Stephens in free agency, impacting their secondary depth. The team will need to rely on Awuzie and their draft picks to fill the gap.
Malik Harrison (Linebacker)
Linebacker Malik Harrison signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, representing a notable loss for the Ravens’ linebacker corps. His departure could prompt the team to seek additional depth at the position.
Contract Restructures
Marlon Humphrey (Cornerback)
To free up salary cap space, the Ravens restructured the contract of Marlon Humphrey. This move provides financial flexibility while ensuring the team retains one of its top defensive players.
Unsigned Free Agents
Nelson Agholor (Wide Receiver)
As of now, wide receiver Nelson Agholor remains unsigned. The Ravens may explore other options if they choose to move on from Agholor.
Tre’Davious White (Cornerback)
Cornerback Tre’Davious White has yet to secure a contract, leaving his future uncertain as the team evaluates its defensive options.
The Ravens’ offseason moves reflect a strategic approach to addressing key areas of need while maintaining financial prudence. By securing impactful signings and retaining essential players, Baltimore is positioning itself for another strong season in the highly competitive AFC. With training camp on the horizon, the team will continue to refine its roster and build towards a championship-caliber squad.
