Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald reflected on the late additions to his defense that are making an impact

The Baltimore Ravens are always looking for ways to improve their roster, no matter the time of year. That rang extremely true over the course of the 2023 offseason and into the start of the season, as general manager Eric DeCosta and company brought in multiple high-level players in the weeks and days up to the start of the year.

Veterans such as cornerback Arthur Maulet as well as outside linebackers Jadeveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noy have all stepped up and contributed in various ways. Defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald reflected on the late signings, and said the organization is always excited to bring in a great player.

“Listening to your question, Eric [DeCosta] and Ozzie [Newsome] talked about it over the years, talking about your roster is never really set throughout the course of the season, and I think that’s a philosophy of the organization, just always trying to improve the team, and we’ve done a great job at targeting guys that can be productive for us and then we kind of take it from there. Obviously, we’re always excited to take on a great player, we’re never going to turn down a great player.”
