\n Jeff Zrebiec Looks at the Most Surprising Ravens Development in Free Agency<\/p>\n

The Ravens have done a solid job of addressing their biggest needs to this point in free agency, but The Athletic\u2019s Jeff Zrebiec<\/a> noted that there’s still significant work to do on the interior defensive line.<\/p>\n

“Beyond the whole Maxx Crosby fallout and Trey Hendrickson pivot, the most surprising Ravens development in free agency is that they haven’t added to their interior defensive line,” Zrebiec wrote. “There is still plenty of uncertainty with Nnamdi Madubuike, who missed most of last season with a neck injury. Broderick Washington remains a potential salary-cap cut, although the Ravens may want him to get fully healthy first.<\/p>\n

“Depending on the status of Madubuike and Washington, Baltimore could still need two starters here, plus a depth piece. It would be hard to accomplish all that in the draft, so at some point, the Ravens will need to pursue a veteran.”<\/p>\n

Zrebiec identified former Raven Calais Campbell as a veteran free agent Baltimore could pursue.<\/p>\n

“It’s unclear if the 39-year-old Campbell is committed to returning for a 19th NFL season, and he’s probably in no rush to make a decision,” Zrebiec wrote<\/a>. “If he decides to return, the Ravens would presumably be one of the likely landing spots.<\/p>\n

“Campbell played with the Ravens from 2020 to 2022, and General Manager Eric DeCosta has tried to bring him back on a couple of different occasions. Campbell is a six-sack guy at this point in his career, but he still impacts opposing quarterbacks, can stop the run, helps in kick block, and is considered one of the game’s best leaders and mentors.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeff Zrebiec Looks at the Most Surprising Ravens Development in Free Agency The Ravens have done a solid…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,7,781,786,888,5410,6,169],"class_list":["post-819158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-baltimore-ravens","tag-baltimore","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-baltimoreravens","tag-football","tag-general","tag-homepage-centerpiece","tag-late-for-work","tag-marquise-brown","tag-nfl","tag-ravens"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116250465336646044","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819158","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=819158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
