2025 Ravens: State Of The Offense

With the 2025 Draft in the rear view, it seems like a good time to look at the current depth chart.

I’m going to focus specifically on the offense and while I give you the most up to date information on where the roster stands now, I’ll also give you some of my own thoughts as well.

Quarterback: Lamar Jackson, Cooper Rush, Devin Leary

Jackson continues to be one of the most unique and dynamic players in the league. He enters his eighth year in the league coming off his most productive season as a professional throwing the ball with career highs in Passing yards (4,172) and Passing Touchdowns (41). He still was a threat on the ground as well and had his highest season rushing total (915) since 2020. The team decided to move on from Josh Johnson and signed the former Dallas Cowboy Rush to a two-year incentive laden deal that many would consider an upgrade. Rush went 9-5 as a starter for Dallas in his seven seasons there including 4-4 last season. Leary was drafted out of Kentucky in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft. He was cut during the preseason and signed to the practice squad. He did not see any action last year, and just last month, he was signed to a reserve/future contract.

Running Back: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, Rasheen Ali, Marcus Major, Sone Ntoh

Henry was a key weapon in the Baltimore offense last season as he gained 1,921 yards rushing and led the league with 16 Touchdowns. The physical freak was so good that there have been talks of another extension so he could end his career as a Raven. Usually backs decline in production after thirty years of age but Henry is a different breed. It will be interesting to see how the front office handles this situation moving forward. Hill is in the final year of his deal here and he has proven to be one of the top backup runners in the NFL. His versatility and reliability as another viable option have been important for the team. Mitchell is the most intriguing player in the group though. He should be fully recovered from his ACL issues that kept him limited last season. It will be interesting to see how a fully healthy Mitchell could be used in this offense. Ali, was a fifth rounder in 2024 and saw limited action in season. Major recently signed as an undrafted free agent and will likely land on the practice squad. Ntoh was a small school signing (Monmouth) who flashes potential as well.

Tight End/Fullback: Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar, Zaire Mitchell-Paden, Sam Pitz, Patrick Ricard

Andrews has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success during his career in Baltimore as he heads into the final year of his last deal. With that he still has much to prove after a costly error against Buffalo in the playoffs. There were many that we anxious to trade him. The rumors proved false and Andrews will attempt to redeem himself in what could be his last season here. Likely has emerged as a rising star as his backup and it’s very possible since he’s also in a contract year that the Ravens move on from Andrews and put all their chips in with Likely moving forward in 2026. Kolar is also in the last season of his contract and has been a solid third Tight End. He also displayed his toughness playing through a fractured arm last November. Mitchell-Paden was with the practice squad last season. Pitz recently signed as an undrafted Free Agent and hopes to end up there too. Ricard recently inked a one-year extension in March and hopes to finish his career here. Ricard has not only become one of the more popular players on the team but one that is indicative of the team’s offensive identity.

Wide Receiver: Zay Flowers, Rashoud Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace, LaJohntay Wester, Devontez Walker, Malik Cunningham, Keith Kirkwood, Jahmal Banks, Anthony Miller, Xavier Guillory, Dayton Wade

The emergence of Bateman last season has given Baltimore one of the top duo in the league paired with the explosive Flowers. They added the vet Hopkins as a player to fit the role of someone who will battle on contested catches. This should be a formidable trio. Hopkins is not the player he once was but should be able to help. Wallace was an effective reserve and handled punt return duties at times. Walker and Wester who was a Sixth Rounder should also compete for return duties and provide depth.

Offensive Line:

Center: Tyler Linderbaum, Nick Samac, Darrian Dalcourt

The Ravens declined the fifth-year option on the two-time Pro Bowler but they still seem likely to retain him. The option would have paid him $23 million in 2026, which would have given him $5 million more than any other Center in the league. Eric DeCoast remains committed to getting an extension signed before he’d hit the market next season. Samac is back from last season. The former seventh rounder was Linderbaum’s backup. Dalcourt played multiple position at Alabama and was on the practice squad last year.

Guard: Andrew Vorhees, Daniel Faalele, Garrett Dellinger, Ben Cleveland, Corey Bullock, Jared Penning

Vorhees will be in the mix to compete for the starting Left Guard job that he won a year ago. Injuries derailed his 2024 campaign and he’ll be pushed by recent additions for playing time. The massive Faalele had quite a season after moving from Tackle to the inside to win the Right Guard slot. He gave up just two sacks on 541 passing snaps and was named a Pro Bowl alternate. Cleveland was expected by many fans to be the heir apparent at Guard and instead spent 2024 as a reserve seeing only limited action (49 snaps). Surprisingly he was resigned to a one-year deal after off-season legal troubles. Dellinger is a seventh round pick from this year that should provide competition and depth. Former Terrapin Bullock spent 2024 on the Practice Squad.

Tackle: Ronnie Stanley, Roger Rosengarten, Carson Vinson, Emory Jones Jr., Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, Reid Holskey, Ozzie Hutchinson

Stanley resigned in March after a solid 2024. Last season was his first in nine where he appeared in every game and earned a Pro Bowl nod. Rosengarten heads into his sophomore campaign as a potential rising star on the Right side. He’s earned rave reviews from coaches and opponents, particularly Myles Garrett. The third-round pick Jones could vie for the Starting Left Guard position or be a swing Tackle to provide depth behind the starters. Vinson, a Fifth rounder, could develop into a starter down the road.

Overall, this Ravens offense is filled with talent and it looks as if they’ve done a good job finding supplemental pieces and depth all around. Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken enters his third season and Lamar Jackson is in his prime. It’s all about playoff success for this group and that’s the one thing that’s eluded them with Jackson under center. If the key pieces are healthy this a Super Bowl contender again in 2025.
