The NFL Scouting Combine kicks off this week in Indianapolis and for most fans, it’s the start of draft season.
The draft has been a lifeline for the Ravens throughout franchise history. They make it a point to nail it every year.
Given the current situation in Baltimore, there are good reasons why this year’s offseason is more important than ever as the Ravens look to overcome the crisis and get to the Super Bowl.
Here’s why and more insights, all in 50 words or less:
– Maybe the Ravens will restructure Lamar Jackson’s contract to free up salary cap space, but either way it will be expensive ($32.4 million projected for 2024). That means less room to add additional pieces or take advantage of the free agency market. Baltimore will need young, cheap talent to keep the window open.
– The Chiefs won two straight championships thanks to Patrick Mahomes and a number of key contributors on their rookie contracts (Rashi Rice, Trent McDuffie, George Karlaftis, Isiah Pacheco, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, Larios Snead and more). That’s the model. Baltimore has a strong foundation of these players and will need more.
– After the Ravens won the Super Bowl during that time.
