Whoever came up with that nonsense about ‘time healing all wounds’ couldn’t have been a Baltimore Ravens<\/a> fan. It’s been more than a month. We still wake up screaming after dreaming about Tyler Loop’s field-goal attempt sailing right of its target in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

Here’s what’s worse. The agony of that miss feels more depressing after a Divisional Round loss sustained the prior January (and a home loss in the AFC Championship Game that occurred one year before that).<\/p>\n

Truth be told, now that we’re thinking about it and expressing, time hasn’t healed much of anything. Maybe the road to recovery starts now with a new coaching regime and some better offensive line play.<\/p>\n

If you’re unaware, Tyler Linderbaum is scheduled to enter free agency if an extension can’t be ironed out<\/a>. The same is true for his backup, Corey Bullock. Daniel Faalele is another of the Ravens’ 25 impending free agents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Baltimore is in dire need of offensive line depth\/help. Might they turn to free agency to find some? Here are a few options if they do.<\/p>\n

After beginning his career with the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> and joining the hated Pittsburgh Steelers, Isaac Seumalo nears free agency. Might the trend of seeing the Ravens<\/a> and Steelers steal talent from one another continue?<\/p>\n

This is a clear upgrade for Faalele, and it would be nice to see him and Linderbaum work in concert, but it will take a lot of behind-the-scenes work to make that happen.<\/p>\n

This might actually be what the Ravens need. Plus, they’ve seen a lot of him during their wars with the Bills<\/a>. He has played a lot as of late, logging over 2,000 snaps over the past two years vs combined.<\/p>\n

He’ll be 29 when he enters the 2026 season, so hopefully, the heavy workload hasn’t taken its toll. He isn’t going to be cheap, which raises questions about whether Eric DeCosta can make the numbers work.<\/p>\n

An injury (torn triceps) short-circuited Alijah Vera-Tucker’s 2025 regular season before it even began. That’s the third time in five seasons that the former first-round selection has had a season end prematurely because of injury.<\/p>\n

A member of the Pro Football Writers Association’s All-Rookie Team\u00a0in 2021, there’s some talent in there. Two questions: Will someone take a chance on someone injury-prone? Might the concerns reduce his price tag?<\/p>\n

Here’s another rival that the Ravens have gotten a good look at from the other sideline. Joe Bitonio is an old man now who will turn 35 during the coming NFL season.<\/p>\n

He’s a seven-time Pro Bowler, a two-time First-team\u00a0All-Pro\u00a0(2021,\u00a02022), and a three-time Second-Team All-Pro. Canton might be calling, but before it does, maybe he’ll get a real shot at championship glory by switching to the Ravens’ side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 17, 2026, 6:07 a.m. ET Whoever came up with that nonsense about ‘time healing all wounds’ couldn’t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":758151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2048],"tags":[95878,215,214,53,2086,7,6,96963,96964,101545,95882,95898,96033,95957,99897,107110,97190,106673,108368,95896,95888,95895,95897,96191,95883,102303,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-758150","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-buffalo-bills","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-bills","10":"tag-buffalo","11":"tag-buffalo-bills","12":"tag-buffalobills","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflravens","16":"tag-sstsnravens","17":"tag-tagalijah-vera-tucker","18":"tag-tagamerican-football","19":"tag-tagbaltimore-ravens","20":"tag-tagbuffalo-bills","21":"tag-tagcleveland-browns","22":"tag-tagdaniel-faalele","23":"tag-tagdavid-edwards","24":"tag-tagisaac-seumalo","25":"tag-tagjoe-noteboom","26":"tag-tagjoel-bitonio","27":"tag-tagnational-sports","28":"tag-tagnfl","29":"tag-tagnfl-hub","30":"tag-tagoverall-negative","31":"tag-tagphiladelphia-eagles","32":"tag-tagsports-news","33":"tag-tagtyler-linderbaum","34":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
