We asked, you answered: fans predict Mike Green breakout in 2026

In last week’s Ravens Reacts survey, 61% of Baltimore Beatdown readers predicted that outside linebacker Mike Green would break out this season. Despite a pre-draft billing as an explosive pass rusher, the second-round pick disappointed as a rookie. Injuries to Kyle Van Noy and Tavius Robinson – as well as the Odafe Oweh trade – […]

Report: Ravens signing punter Luke Elzinga

Of the Baltimore Ravens’ 10 lost free agents this offseason, one that has perhaps flown under the radar is punter Jordan Stout.

Former Ravens CB Marcus Peters takes on HS coaching gig

The Ravens have a strong alumni network in the football world. More than 140 former players have coaching or administrative jobs, and that list now has one more name: Marcus Peters.

DT D.J. Reader underwent physical with Ravens, could sign after draft

The Ravens hosted defensive tackle D.J. Reader for a visit this week, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. The 10-year veteran also underwent an all-important physical, but left Baltimore without a deal and will likely sign with a team after April’s draft. That may not necessarily be the Ravens. Reader, 31, started 32 games for the Lions […]

With the Baltimore Ravens regaining their first round pick in the aftermath of the Maxx Crosby debacle, there have been a few players frequently linked to them for the 14th pick in April’s draft.

Browns sign former Ravens WR Tylan Wallace

The Browns hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their head coach this offseason, and he in turn brought several of his staffers to Cleveland. He was not, however, as aggressive in pursuing his former players in free agency, especially compared to John Harbaugh’s Giants. They already snapped up four ex-Ravens, though that has […]

Ravens to sign former Colts center Danny Pinter

The Ravens will need a new starting center for the 2026 season after Tyler Linderbaum’s departure in free agency. Corey Bullock, who served as the backup last year, is a younger in-house option, but the team badly needed to add a more experienced veteran. That has now come in the former of former Colts center […]

Ravens Free Agency: Winners and Losers so far

It’s been a busy start to the offseason for the Baltimore Ravens, who dominated national headlines during the first week of free agency. The Ravens made a blockbuster trade for Maxx Crosby only to back out of the deal within days in unprecedented fashion. Hours later, they compensated by signing Trey Hendrickson to a big […]

Ravens release QB Cooper Rush

The 2025 season held many lessons for the Ravens. One was that Tyler Huntley is and long has been the best backup quarterback for Lamar Jackson. He re-signed with the team on a two-year deal before free agency, and accordingly, they released Cooper Rush at the start of the league year on Wednesday. The move […]
