Jaguars to sign CB Ronald Darby to a two-year deal

Jaguars to sign CB Ronald Darby to a two-year deal

Another Baltimore Raven is leaving for Jacksonville as cornerback Ronald Darby is expected to sign a two-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Jaguars.

The veteran cornerback performed admirably for the Ravens while filling in for an injured Marlon Humphrey at various points throughout the season after signing with the team in August.

Jaguars signing Ravens CB Ronald Darby to 2-year contract

The Jaguars are adding another veteran to their secondary by signing Ronald Darby.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have an agreement in place with Baltimore Ravens cornerback Ronald Darby on a two-year contract worth a maximum of $10 million, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report.

Darby, 30, began his career as a second-round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2015 and was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles just before the start of the 2017 season. After three years with the team, Darby played one season with the Washington Football Team, two seasons with the Denver Broncos, and the 2023 season with the Ravens.

In Baltimore, Darby was credited by PFF with allowing 31 receptions on 60 targets in 2023 with only one penalty and one touchdown allowed.

At the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke called cornerback “a group that we need to address.” That deficiency was exacerbated when the Jaguars made the decision to release Darious Williams in a move that saved the team $11.5 million in salary cap space.

For now, Darby is the favorite to start in the Jaguars secondary opposite Tyson Campbell, although that could change if the team targets a cornerback early in the 2024 NFL draft.

How different will the Ravens’ defense look under new DC Zach Orr?

We’re looking at five ways the Baltimore Ravens defense will look different under new defensive coordinator Zach Orr

The Ravens quickly replaced Mike Macdonald as defensive coordinator, promoting inside linebackers coach Zachary Orr.

Orr, who played for the Ravens from 2014-2016, is a fast-rising star in the coaching ranks.

The 31-year-old Orr has been on the Ravens staff since 2017, save for one season with the Jaguars and Urban Meyer in 2021.

The Ravens introduced Orr to the media on Tuesday, and with the former NFL linebacker firmly entrenched, we’re looking at the multiple ways this defense will look different.
