Critical Needs
Tyler Linderbaum signed a record $81M deal with the Raiders, leaving a massive void at center.
DeAndre Hopkins departed via voided contract.
Important Needs
Marlon Humphrey is entering the final year of his deal and will turn 33 in 2026.
Nnamdi Madubuike missed 15 games with a career-threatening neck injury and his 2026 availability remains deeply uncertain despite positive signals.
Depth Needs
Signing Trey Hendrickson (4-year, $112M) was a massive upgrade and addresses the primary pass rush need.
Isaiah Likely signed with the Giants ($40M) and Charlie Kolar signed with the Chargers ($24.3M).
Minor Needs
Ronnie Stanley (LT, 32 years old) is signed through 2027 on a 3-year, $60M deal and played 16 games in 2025.
Roquan Smith is elite and signed long-term.
- Lost C Tyler Linderbaum (Raiders, 3yr/$81M) — CRITICAL. Creates massive IOL need at center
- Lost TE Isaiah Likely (Giants, 3yr/$40M) — creates TE2 need behind Mark Andrews
- Lost TE Charlie Kolar (Chargers, 3yr/$24.3M) — deepens TE need, especially in run blocking
- Lost EDGE Dre'Mont Jones (Patriots, 3yr/$39M) — thins edge depth
- Lost EDGE David Ojabo (Dolphins, 1yr deal) — further thins edge group
Under new HC Jesse Minter (former Chargers DC), Baltimore will run an aggressive, multiple-front defense that prioritizes disruption up front. Full scheme analysis →
