The Baltimore Ravens are facing an offseason of change with a new head coach and 22 unrestricted free agents.Extending quarterback Lamar Jackson’s contract and upgrading the offensive guard positions are top priorities for the team.The Ravens have 45 players under contract for the 2026 season, including key players like Derrick Henry and Mark Andrews.Baltimore has over $13.8 million in available salary cap space to roll over into the 2026 season.

After missing the playoffs for just the second time in eight seasons, the Ravens fired John Harbaugh, hired Jesse Minter, and the defensive-minded head coach has taken early steps to build a juggernaut coaching staff.

Minter’s next step will be to sign quarterback Lamar Jackson to an extension and rebuild a defense that ranked 14th in success rate (43.4%) and 29th in pressure rate (32.1%). Baltimore has 22 unrestricted free agents, according to Over The Cap, with big names like Tyler Linderbaum, Isaiah Likely, Kyle Van Noy, Dre’Mont Jones, Alohi Gilman, Chidobe Awuzie, and Ar’Darius Washington among those Eric DeCosta will evaluate.

With the new league year fast approaching, we’re predicting the offensive depth chart ahead of free agency.

QB: 2

Starter: Lamar Jackson: $74,500,000

Tyler Huntley: $1,170,000

Jackson has one of the biggest cap hits in the NFL, and the Ravens have a March 9 deadline that they’d like to beat when it comes to a contract extension. The Cooper Rush experiment didn’t work, and he could be cut. After a near-MVP season in 2024, Jackson was battered and missed four games, going 192-302 passing (63.6 completion percentage) for 2,549 yards (196.1 per game), 21 touchdowns, 7 interceptions, and a 103.8 passer rating.

RB: 4

Starter: Derrick Henry: $5,589,000

Justice Hill: $3,813,727

Rasheen Ali: $1,147,467

Keaton Mitchell: Restricted free agent

Henry is guaranteed $11 million in 2026, but has one of the smallest cap hits in the league for an elite player after another 1,500-yard season. Only Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, and James Cook had more carries than Henry, and his 1,595 rushing yards were second in the NFL. Henry is the only reason this unit received a B, as Jackson was the team’s second-leading rusher despite missing four games. Keaton Mitchell played in 13 games, but only accounted for 341 rushing yards. Justice Hill is a candidate to be cut, but Rasheen Ali and Mitchell have yet to display backup running back production.

WR: 4

Starter: Rashod Bateman: $6,180,687

Starter: Zay Flowers: $4,466,140

Devontez Walker: $1,274,463

LaJohntay Wester: $1,058,717

Cornelius Johnson: $885,000

Dayton Wade: ERFA

Rashod Bateman had a down year and even missed the AFC North title game with an illness. After a career year in 2024, Bateman finished with 13 games played, 12 starts, 38 targets, 19 receptions, 224 yards receiving, and two touchdowns. Zay Flowers is the biggest star of the group, logging back-to-back Pro Bowls after accounting for 85 catches, 1,211 yards, and five touchdowns. Still, the lack of development and opportunities for Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester will be something the new coach will need to watch. DeAndre Hopkins had 39 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns.

TE: 3

Mark Andrews: $6,979,624

Charlie Kolar

Draft pick

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, while Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar test free agency. The $13.1M per year average makes Andrews the sixth-highest-paid tight end in terms of average annual value, behind the Cleveland Browns‘ David Njoku and ahead of the Cowboys’ Jake Ferguson.

OL: 8

Starter: Ronnie Stanley: $9,859,588

Starter: Tyler Linderbaum (free agent)

Andrew Vorhees: $3,630,528

2026 NFL Draft pick: Starter

Starter: Roger Rosengarten: $1,755,631

Starter: Emery Jones Jr.: $1,425,800

Carson Vinson: $1,122,399

Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan $885,000

Jared Penning: $885,000

Lucas Scott: $885,000

Corey Bullock ERFA

The Ravens’ offensive line took a big step backward in 2025, both as a unit and individually. They finished just 28th in PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating (82.8) after allowing 155 pressures, 17 sacks, on 501 snaps. Offensive guards Andrew Vorhees and Daniel Faalele were the primary issue. Baltimore’s offensive guards finished the season with a cumulative 52.1 PFF run-blocking grade, which ranked only 27th in the NFL. Star center Tyler Linderbaum continued to be one of the best run-blocking centers in the NFL. His 83.1 PFF run-blocking grade ranked fourth at the position.
