The team is reuniting with veteran guard John Simpson on a three-year, $30 million contract, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Yesterday, Baltimore Beatdown’s Dustin Cox wrote about the Ravens as a potential landing spot for A.J. Brown. The supposedly-disgruntled Eagles wide receiver has been the subject of endless trade rumors in recent weeks, but a deal seems unlikely to come together anytime soon. Simply put, the financials are virtually unworkable from Philly’s end until June […]
With the 2025 NFL season now officially concluded, the offseason picture will soon begin to take shape. The first and biggest upcoming period on the docket is free agency, which is only days away.

Football players (and coaches) are people, too! They spend their lives among us, shopping at the grocery store, getting their tires serviced, and going to their kids’ soccer games. We only see most under helmets, making them hard to recognize in public, when they aren’t wearing a jersey with their name on it. You may […]
The Ravens hired coaches from all over the country to fill Jesse Minter’s new staff. But for a new vice presidency overseeing health and performance, the team looked even farther away.
