Ravens getting that deal done before the open market was one of the best moves of the offseason by a mile
Dan Moore making more than Ronnie Stanley is not something I was ready to see from this free-agent class

Per OTC & @ravenssalarycap.bsky.social on the other app, the Ravens have reduced his 2025 contract to $2.1m creating $9.9m in cap space now.
They'll cut him post June 1st & create $2.1m more cap space.
Writing has been on the wall that he'd be cut but this gives Ravens the cap space earlier.

This is the 2nd PB selection for both Hamilton & Linderbaum. This will push both of their 5th yr options (2026) to the 2025 Franchise tag level. Those would be approx $20M & $25M respectively. Both will be eligible for long-term extensions after Saturday night. 1/
#Ravens selected to the Pro Bowl: Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Pat Ricard, Zay Flowers, Tyler Linderbaum, Roquan Smith, Nnamdi Madubuike, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton

And now TJ Tampa is the 5th to be designated for return from IR. Still have 3 left for the rest of the regular season (also get 2 more in playoffs), so they’re in good shape. Once on IR, Kolar will likely be the 6th if/when ready.
Pierce is just the 4th (Maulet/Ali/JAD) of a possible 8 DTR’s from IR, so they’re in good shape for the rest of the season. At this point, they only have Tampa & Harty on IR who are eligible to return (if ever ready).
The Ravens have designated NT Michael Pierce to return to practice after dealing with a calf injury. His window is open.

The Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings are two of the likeliest teams to land free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones, per sources. But they are hardly the only ones. Jones wants to sign with a playoff contender, and what happens in Week 12 is expected to influence his decision.
