Ravens Set 2026 Offseason Priorities Under New Coach Jesse Minter

Extension talks for Lamar Jackson could reshape tight cap space before free agency opens.

Overview

  • Baltimore enters Jesse Minter’s first roster-building cycle with a long list of pending free agents, including multiple 2025 starters, per the team’s offseason guide.
  • The team is projected to have about $22 million in cap space as of Feb. 11, according to OverTheCap, with that estimate subject to change based on extensions.
  • Under NFL rules, clubs may begin negotiating with players’ agents on March 9, and deals can be finalized starting March 11.
  • The Ravens hold the No. 14 pick and six current selections, with four compensatory picks projected to bring their April 23–25 draft haul to 11.
  • Top needs identified by the team include pass rush after a 30-sack season, interior offensive line with both guard spots unsettled and center uncertain, and wide receiver help with DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace possibly departing.
