Ravens could revisit signing a veteran pass rusher later this summer

The Ravens may not be aggressively pursuing another veteran edge rusher right now, but general manager Eric DeCosta made it clear the door still remains open for a possible addition later this offseason.

During an appearance on 105.7 The Fan with Bruce Cunningham and former Raven and Super Bowl Champion Femi Ayanbadejo, DeCosta discussed Baltimore’s current mindset when it comes to the edge rusher position and why the team is taking a patient approach.

“Never say never. I think some of it will depend on our evaluation of these guys over the coming month or so and into the offseason program as we get closer to like the end of June.”

The comments suggest Baltimore wants to spend more time evaluating the younger pass rushers already on the roster before making any major decisions. The Ravens invested heavily in youth during the draft and still believe several players could take meaningful steps forward during offseason workouts and training camp.

At the same time, DeCosta’s comments leave the possibility open for another late veteran signing if the team feels additional depth or production is needed. Baltimore has taken this approach before, most notably when signing Jadeveon Clowney late in the offseason before he delivered one of the best seasons of his career in 2023.

Baltimore has already shown in past years it won’t hesitate to make another veteran addition.
