Baltimore has had good moments so far, and we’re tracking all of their offseason moves here—from signings and departures to restructures and potential trades.
We’re looking at an updated depth chart prediction for the Baltimore Ravens following the first wave of NFL Free Agency
The Ravens are still in the crux of a potential Super Bowl window.
Still, they’ll look drastically different on both sides of the football after undergoing massive changes to player personnel and the coaching staff.
Eric DeCosta started the off-season with urgency, signing Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension.
After inking Madubuike to a deal, Baltimore seemed to win the first wave of the free agency period after getting Derrick Henry for two years and $16 million. The talented running back could earn $20 million over the course of the deal.
All wasn’t perfect, as the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses. Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere.
Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move.
With the second wave of free agency set to begin, we’re looking at an updated depth chart.

Here’s an early look at the Baltimore Ravens’ salary cap, positional breakdowns, and financial outlook ahead of 2024 NFL free agency

Baltimore will enter the 2024 NFL free agency with urgent decisions to make on Justin Madubuike, Patrick Queen, and 20+ other unrestricted free agents.
The Ravens have about $5 million in salary cap space and the No. 30 overall pick in April’s NFL draft courtesy.

The Baltimore Ravens are the early odds on favorites to sign free agent running back Derrick Henry when the new league year starts
The Baltimore Ravens enter an offseason of expected turnover at several positions. One such position is running back, where the Ravens could lose Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins in free agency.
Baltimore has only had one running back cross 1,000 rushing yards in the Lamar Jackson era, mainly due to a committee approach at the position. Could the Ravens buck that trend and go after a true workhorse back this offseason? The betting market appears to think so, as DraftKings Sportsbook has Baltimore with the best odds at +200 to sign veteran running back Derrick Henry.

Henry, 30, is expected to hit the open market after spending his first eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans. Fresh off a season in which he rushed for 1,167 yards, Henry still has gas left in the tank despite an extensive career workload.
Spotrac lists Henry with a calculated market value of $10.3 million for one year, which would be difficult to justify for the Ravens given the number of free agents set to hit the open market and a limited amount of cap space to dole out among various positions of need.
Even if it is not a sizable investment like Henry, Baltimore will need to add another running back to the roster, considering that only Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell are set to return, and Mitchell is coming back from a torn ACL near the end of the 2023 season. Re-signing one of Edwards or Dobbins is a potential option, as is targeting someone else in free agency or selecting one in the draft.
