After months of waiting, the Baltimore Ravens are looking to get back to the postseason and will begin off-season workouts under first-year head coach Jesse Minter, with adjustments following significant roster losses. Eric DeCosta regrouped from the backed-out Maxx Crosby trade and made a splash signing, landing Trey Hendrickson on a four-year deal. Teams that successfully build through the NFL draft typically suffer the greatest losses. Changes in personnel spark offseason and training camp roster battles, and the Ravens will take part in several high-profile competitions.
With the off-season in full swing, we're projecting the Baltimore Ravens starting offense ahead of workouts and OTAs, highlighting key roles and position battles.
Jackson and the Ravens agreed on a restructured contract that created nearly $40 million in salary cap space. Jackson has been working out in Florida and looks sharp after an injury-plagued 2025. The Ravens won't have to search for a backup quarterback after re-signing Tyler Huntley and releasing Cooper Rush. Baltimore could look to the draft for a third quarterback.
Henry has logged back-to-back 1,500+ yards seasons upon joining the Ravens. New offensive coordinator Declan Doyle prefers to use a tight end in an H-Back role over the traditional fullback.
The Ravens are expected to pick up Zay Flowers' $27.3 million fifth-year option after back-to-back Pro Bowls.
Rashod Bateman is under contract through 2029 and has been the subject of trade talks following an injury-filled 2025 season.
With DeAndre Hopkins not expected to return, the depth behind the big two is limited. Devontez Walker is a touchdown machine, but still unproven going into Year 3. This could end up being a first or second-round pick in this spot.
After some off-season and summertime doubt, the Mark Andrews era will continue in Baltimore, after the Ravens agreed to terms on a three-year, $39.3 million extension with the franchise's all-time leading catcher. The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money. Andrews was slated to hit free agency at season's end, but now, he'll remain.
An aging left tackle, Stanley regressed somewhat in 2025 after making the Pro Bowl in 2024. Last season, Stanley's 70.9 overall grade was 35th out of 89 offensive tackles according to PFF.
At guard, veteran John Simpson returns after spending his past two seasons with the New York Jets. He'll battle Andrew Vorhees.
With three-time Pro Bowl Tyler Linderbaum in Las Vegas as the highest-paid center in NFL history, the Ravens could choose to draft a center. Former Maryland star and undrafted free agent Corey Bullock could be a player to watch, while Jovaughn Gwyn offers positional versatility.
While Eric DeCosta has raved about last year's third-round pick Emery Jones Jr., Andrew Vorhees returns, and Vega Ioana or Spencer Fano would be Day 1 starters.
In 2024, Rosengarten earned a spot on the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie team, alongside No. 5-overall pick Joe Alt of the Los Angeles Chargers. After some early career struggles, Rosengarten took over as the Ravens' starting right tackle in Week 4 and finished ranked No. 39 at his position by Pro Football Focus (PFF). He had four sacks allowed in 488 pass blocking snaps. This season, Rosengarten's 76.4 grade was 26th in the NFL, as he logged 1,014 snaps with three sacks allowed.
