The Baltimore Ravens lost two members of their organization this past offseason in former defensive lineman Tony Siragusa and outside linebacker Jaylon Ferguson. Many have been wondering what the team would do to honor them, and on Friday head coach John Harbaugh shed some light on the topic.
Harbaugh revealed that there will be a recognition for both Ferguson and Siragusa, as well as a helmet sticker to honor them as well. Each moment of recognition will be done at a different time from the other, as Harbaugh said they want to call attention to both separately.

“We have. My understanding of it is – and [SVP of Communications] Chad [Steele] you can ring in if I’m not right – we’re going to do two separate honoring moments, one for ‘Goose’ [Tony Siragusa] and one for Jaylon [Ferguson], at different moments there to kind of call attention to those guys separately. Then, we have a sticker on our helmet to honor those guys. So, those are the two things that I’m aware of.”
Both Ferguson and Siragusa meant a lot to the organization both on and off of the field, and their losses have been felt in a very large way. Honoring them is a way to remember who they were as people and the impacts they made, with so many sharing positive memories of the two.
