The Baltimore Ravens showed exactly how not to play defense in 2025. This offseason, they’ve made relentless efforts to improve that.
It started with the coaching staff hiring Jesse Minter as head coach and Anthony Weaver as defensive coordinator, and it’s continued in free agency with a class headlined by the addition of premier edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. This year’s coaching staff and roster are a vast improvement from what they had last season.
Still, it feels like the Ravens are a couple of pieces away from defensive dominance in 2026.
