The Ravens weren't overly active during the first wave of NFL free agency, but they added DeAndre Hopkins to the passing game and Jake Hummel to the special teams. Baltimore retained Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard, and Tylan Wallace, while the restructure of Marlon Humphrey created $13 million in salary cap space.
Even with the inactivity and loss of Brandon Stephens, Malik Harrison, Patrick Mekari, Josh Jones, and Chris Board, the team is still in the midst of a Super Bowl window and has 11 2025 NFL draft picks to help restock. The Ravens have $11,025,484 in cap space, and could look to add another cornerback or safety.
With the NFL draft now 27 days away, we're looking at ten free agents Baltimore could be interested in adding to its already stacked roster.
Another potential addition for depth, the veteran offensive guard had a pass block win rate of 93.8% last year, which ranked 14th among guards, according to ESPN.
A talented veteran on a potentially cheap deal, the former Ravens defensive end has at least five sacks in each of the past three seasons.
Last season, with the Browns and Lions, Smith had nine sacks and 38 pressures.
Another former Ravens defensive end, Judon, had a 15.5-sack season but only 5.5 sacks in 2024.
Speed had 93 tackles and seven tackles for loss last season and offers an athletic linebacker that can add depth to the position.
Wills could be in line for a position switch like Mekhi Becton, and he's still a solid pass blocker who has a career pass block win rate of 92.0%.
Simmons signed with Atlanta last offseason following eight years in Denver. Last season, Simmons recorded two interceptions, seven passes defended, and 62 total tackles in 16 games played in 2024, with his PFF grade ranking 113th out of 170 safeties.
Blackmon had three interceptions in 2024 and seven over the past two seasons.
A liability in the passing game, White is an astute run stopper. In his second season with the Arizona Cardinals, White started all 17 games, making 137 total tackles, one interception, 2.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, and eight quarterback hits.
The former Eagles, Packers, and Bills cornerback excels in zone coverage and can be a playmaker for a Ravens team looking for closers on the outside. According to ESPN, Douglas was below average in coverage DVOA metric this past season but ranked third in the league in 2023 among qualifying cornerbacks. Douglas lacked big plays, with only five passes defended in 2024, but had at least 13 in each of the three previous seasons.
