The Ravens have already spent the offseason reshaping the roster, but there’s still room for one more push before training camp opens. After a shockingly bad 2025 season, Baltimore answered with a coaching overhaul and major moves in free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft. The Jesse Minter era is still in its early stages, but the front office has given the team a much different look - and the market still has a few low-cost options worth considering.
That matters because teams don’t stop shopping just because the calendar is turning toward camp. There are always veterans available who can compete for jobs, fill out depth charts or even carve out real roles once the season starts. For Baltimore, three names stand out as potential bargain additions.
Neville Hewitt is the kind of signing that doesn’t make headlines, but it could make sense for a roster that still has some questions behind Roquan Smith. The Ravens have three young linebackers positioned to help in 2026, yet there’s still a case for adding another seasoned body to the room.
Losing Jake Hummel in free agency didn’t really get answered, and that departure likely opens more snaps for Higgins. Hewitt, with 11 years in the league, could help steady that group while also giving Baltimore a dependable special teams option.
He’s done that work before. Hewitt played in 15 games for the New York Giants in 2025 and has been a regular on special teams over the past several seasons. He also brings real defensive mileage, with 48 career starts on his résumé.
Jadeveon Clowney is the obvious swing. A reunion has made sense all offseason, and by early July he looks like exactly the kind of value signing Baltimore should be chasing.
The Ravens have already added Trey Hendrickson and drafted Zion Young to help the pass rush, but there’s still a spot for another proven edge presence. Adisa Isaac hasn’t done enough to lock down the final outside linebacker role, and Clowney has a much stronger case.
He also has recent production to back it up. Clowney posted 9.5 sacks in Baltimore in 2023, matching a career high, and followed that with 8.5 sacks for the Dallas Cowboys.
Late in the 2025 season, he signed a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with Dallas. If he comes at a similar price now, that would be the definition of a bargain for a rotational rusher who can still get after the quarterback.
Then there’s Graham Glasgow, who may be the most practical answer to one of Baltimore’s lingering issues. Center remains the clearest hole on the roster, and the current competition between Jovaughn Gwyn and Danny Pinter hasn’t exactly inspired confidence. Glasgow would bring 10 years of experience and 136 career starts, and while 2025 was uneven for him at center, the Ravens could still value the stability he offers.
The timing makes sense, too. The job is open, and there’s no clear sign either Gwyn or Pinter has separated himself.
Some reporters even believe the Week 1 starter isn’t currently on the roster. If Baltimore wants certainty for Lamar Jackson, Glasgow would at least give them a veteran option.
With rookie Vega Ioane projected to start at one guard spot, the Ravens may prefer experience at center over more uncertainty.

Ravens Fans Have Even More Reason To Love The Vega Ioane Pick
The Ravens added another intriguing piece to the middle of their offensive line when they took guard Vega Ioane with the 14th pick in the NFL Draft, a move that already looks like it could age well. Early buzz around the selection has been strong, and it is easy to see why Baltimore was drawn to a player whose college tape pointed to real help in both pass protection and the run game.
Justin Melo of Sports Illustrated went even further in a recent early look at the 2026 class, slotting Ioane among the top prospects and underscoring how much upside he still has. For a Ravens team that has been searching for more stability and force inside, the appeal is obvious, even if the bigger question now is how quickly Ioane can turn that promise into something the offense can lean on right away.

Jay Higgins Faces A Defining Ravens Camp After Last Year's Breakthrough
Jay Higgins earned his way onto Baltimores initial 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie in 2025, then carved out a role mostly on special teams while seeing only limited defensive snaps. For a player in that spot, the next step is usually less about reputation and more about proving in camp that the first breakthrough was real, and Higgins now heads into another summer with a chance to show he belongs in the Ravens defensive plans.
The opening is there because the linebacker room has changed around him, with departures and injuries creating a path for someone who can handle more than coverage units and kickoff duty. Higgins will have to make the most of training camp and the preseason again, and the question hanging over him is whether last year was simply a solid debut or the start of a much larger role in Baltimore.
