The Ravens will look drastically different on both sides of the football field after undergoing massive changes in player personnel and the coaching staff.
Baltimore signed Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension. After inking Madubuike to a deal, Baltimore landed Derrick Henry for two years and $16 million.
However, the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses.
Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere. Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move.
With the NFL draft fast approaching, we’re reviewing every move Baltimore made this off-season.
