The Ravens (8-9) have cleaned out their lockers and begun preparations for vacation after a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in the regular-season finale. Sunday marked the first time in the storied Baltimore-Pittsburgh rivalry that the two clubs clashed for a division championship in the final week of regular-season play, and it was an instant classic that’ll be discussed for years to come. It was also the fourth loss of the season in a game decided by 5 points or less. The Ravens will initially have 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 have to decide on.
Odafe Oweh was one of the biggest names on the list, but he was traded, while Kyle Hamilon and Mark Andrews signed huge contract extensions. One of the biggest complaints of owner Steve Bisciotti was that key Ravens not improving over time.
