Baltimore ended its head coaching search by bringing Jesse Minter back to Charm City on a five-year deal, making him the fourth head coach in franchise history. Minter isn't a name that moves the needle for casual fans, but inside the building — and around the league — his defensive credentials are the real deal. For a fanbase still stinging over losing Mike MacDonald two years ago, this hire should go a long way toward easing those wounds.
Now the real work begins.
With Minter in place, the Ravens can turn their full attention to locking up Lamar Jackson on a new deal — and they're doing it with fresh ammunition. Baltimore pulled off a blockbuster Friday night, landing pass rusher Maxx Crosby in a trade. Pair an MVP quarterback with one of the most disruptive edge rushers in the game, and suddenly the Ravens' ceiling looks very, very high.
The new league year is less than 48 hours away. Before the market opens, we're examining a full Ravens free agency preview, breaking down Baltimore's salary cap situation, and key free agents.
