Baltimore Ravens' John Harbaugh Talks About Lamar Jackson and His Future
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh recently spoke about Lamar Jackson and his future with the team. Harbaugh said that Jackson is “a special player” and that he is “excited to see what he can do in the future.” He also said that the Ravens are “committed to Lamar” and that they “want him to be here for a long time.”
Jackson is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and there has been some speculation about whether or not he will sign a long-term deal with the Ravens. Harbaugh's comments suggest that the Ravens are willing to pay Jackson whatever it takes to keep him in Baltimore.
Ravens Trade for Roquan Smith
The Ravens recently traded for Roquan Smith, a linebacker from the Chicago Bears. Smith is a Pro Bowl caliber player, and he is expected to make an immediate impact on the Ravens' defense.
The Ravens gave up a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft in exchange for Smith. The Ravens also agreed to pay Smith a four-year, $57.5 million contract extension.
Ravens Sign Marcus Williams
The Ravens recently signed Marcus Williams, a safety from the New Orleans Saints. Williams is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, and he is one of the best safeties in the NFL.
The Ravens signed Williams to a four-year, $54 million contract. The Ravens are hoping that Williams can help improve their pass defense, which was one of the worst in the NFL last season.
Ravens Release Tony Jefferson
The Ravens recently released Tony Jefferson, a safety who started 15 games for the team last season. Jefferson was a valuable member of the Ravens' defense, but he was considered to be expendable after the team signed Williams.
The Ravens released Jefferson in order to clear cap space and make room for Smith. The Ravens are now expected to start Williams and Chuck Clark at safety.
Ravens Hire David Culley as Wide Receivers Coach
The Ravens recently hired David Culley as their wide receivers coach. Culley was previously the head coach of the Houston Texans, and he has also served as an assistant coach with the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Ravens are hoping that Culley can help improve their wide receiver corps, which struggled last season. The Ravens have a number of talented wide receivers, but they need to be more consistent in order to help the team win games.
