The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for what might be their most pivotal offseason in recent memory. With coaching changes and the need to manage Lamar Jackson's significant cap hit, new head coach Jesse Minter has a full plate. But the buzz around Baltimore's offseason priorities is focusing on something beyond just Lamar.
According to CBS Sports' Josh Edwards, the Ravens' top concern is shoring up the defensive line. Edwards highlights that while the Ravens have overhauled their coaching staff, familiar faces like head coach Jesse Minter and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver remain.
Their task? Revamping a defense that needs help across the board-defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, and safety.
Lamar Jackson remains central to the Ravens' plans. While the defensive line is a priority, addressing it hinges on easing Jackson's $74.5 million cap hit. Whether through a restructure or an extension, resolving this financial hurdle is essential for Baltimore to move forward.
Once the cap situation is settled, the Ravens can focus on strengthening the defensive line, allowing Minter to implement his vision. For now, the team is in a holding pattern, with fans hoping for swift resolutions.
