If you are a Baltimore Ravens fan and you expected the team to make major changes this offseason, you will more than likely be disappointed.
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta made it clear in a recent interview on the Inner Circle Podcast that the team will not be making any major moves this offseason in free agency.

“I don’t get as involved with free agency, so I’m not gonna spend as much time… we don’t spend a lot of money in free agency…we’ve never been a free agency team. We’re a draft and develop team.”
That’s interesting, considering that not that long ago, the Ravens went out and signed future Hall of Fame running back Derrick Henry, which turned out to be a success.
Decades before that, the team also signed Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, but that was under former GM Ozzie Newsome.
The fact that the team would rather take their chances in this year’s draft is an interesting take, considering there are a lot of glaring spots that need to be filled. One of them is at wide receiver.

DeCosta said they wouldn’t spend much in free agency, but he didn’t say they wouldn’t be looking into trades. So maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel for Ravens’ fans.
