With needs at wide receiver, offensive line depth, and defensive backfield stability, here's what Baltimore must prioritize next to stay in the AFC contender tier. Edge Rusher Trey Hendrickson is the big free agent signing and the guy who'll close games out when the Ravens have a lead. The biggest roster battle will take place between 2025 Second-round pick Mike Green, who returns after posting 3.

5 sacks in 2025, and 2023 fourth-round pick Tavius Robinson, who returns after dealing with injury but posting 4. 5 sacks. Adisa Isaac and second-year Kaimon Rucker offer depth.
