The Baltimore Ravens were busy ahead of the NFL trade deadline this season, acquiring both wide receiver Diontae Johnson from the Carolina Panthers and cornerback Tre’Davious White from the Los Angeles Rams. It has been reported that the Ravens were in on other players, including cornerback Marshon Lattimore and defensive end Calais Campbell.

NFL Insider Albert Breer reported that Baltimore offered the New Orleans Saints a third-round pick for Lattimore but was outbid by the Washington Commanders in the end. Breer added that the Ravens had a deal to reunite with Campbell in a trade with the Miami Dolphins that ultimately fell through.

Campbell signed with the Dolphins this offseason, hoping to compete for a Super Bowl. Still, mainly due to a concussion sidelining quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for multiple games, Miami currently sits at 2-6. The Ravens have dealt with several injuries to the defensive line, with defensive tackle Michael Pierce going to injured reserve with a calf injury, defensive end Brent Urban missing several games with a concussion and defensive tackle Travis Jones dealing with an ankle injury that severely hindered his performance until recently.

Campbell, 38, is still playing at a high level for the Dolphins this season and would have been a solid addition to Baltimore’s pass rush, further helping to create opportunities for players such as defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike and outside linebackers Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy on passing downs.

Ravens’ Michael Pierce sees benefit of bringing back same defensive line in 2024

Ravens defensive lineman Michael Pierce sees the benefit of bringing back their entire offensive line

Over the past few seasons, the Baltimore Ravens have had one of the most consistent defensive line rooms in the NFL. Their mix of veteran and young talent has ensured that they never miss a beat regardless of who’s in the game, and their star power makes them a force to deal with on every snap.

Baltimore defensive lineman Michael Pierce was asked about the benefits of bringing back the team’s entire defensive line from 2023 to the 2024 season. He said there are significant reasons why it’s a big deal, including continuity and having players that contribute to winning on the roster.

“I would believe so. Anytime you can have continuity, more so, bringing back guys who actually impact winning. We brought back ‘Beeks’ [Justin Madubuike] – one of the best D-tackles in the league [and] obviously [an NFL] Top 100 kind of guy. [As far as] myself I played well, obviously Broddy [DE / DT Broderick Washington] will be here again, and Travis [Jones] here again; they’ve taken tremendous steps. [The Ravens] bringing back ‘Urb’ [Brent Urban who is a] solid five[-technique]. They don’t have a lot of those around the league, so [I’m] glad to have him back.” [Additionally] adding a lot of guys like [Deadrin] Senat and Josh [Tupou] and all those guys. Anytime you want to have a great defense, you bring back guys throughout the secondary and in front that I just spoke on. [But] having continuity, having guys who contribute to winning and understand how things go and how things fit together is important.”

Pierce is a crucial cog in the Ravens’ defensive line unit, especially as a player who can both stop the run and rush the passer at a high level. The veteran has carved out an excellent career and should have another productive year in Zach Orr’s defense.
