Awuzie is set to earn $5 million guaranteed for another one-year stint with the Ravens. The 30-year-old played 14 games in the 2025 regular season, starting in four. The team was clearly impressed with his production at outside cornerback, as his 2026 contract comes in $3.75 million higher than his 2025 deal.

Texans' Jake Hummel: Signs with Houston
Rotowire
Hummel is slated to sign a two-year deal with the Texans, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Hummel played all 17 regular-season games for the Ravens in 2025, collecting 18 tackles (nine solo) in his primarily special-teams role. The linebacker was only called to play more than two defensive snaps once, which occurred in Baltimore's Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, where he logged 28 defensive snaps on top of his 22 special-teams snaps. Hummel makes a strong special-teams addition with upside as a reserve linebacker for a dominant Texans defense.

Patriots' Dre'Mont Jones: Agrees to three-year deal with NE
Rotowire
Jones agreed to a three-year, $39.5 million contract with the Patriots on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jones' deal won't be official until the new league year begins Wednesday, but the parameters of the contract are in place and include $14.5 million in the first year. Jones had a rare 18-game regular season in 2025 due to a midseason trade from Tennessee to Baltimore, and he took advantage of the extra game to set a new career high with 7.0 sacks, surpassing his totals of 6.5 from the 2020 and 2022 regular seasons with Denver. He'll be a key piece of the pass rush in New England.

Ravens' Nate Wiggins: Recovering from surgery
Rotowire
Wiggins (undisclosed) underwent offseason surgery, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
The nature of Wiggins' surgery is unclear, as new coach Jesse Minter offered no details when speaking with the media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday. Wiggins, however, did deal with a foot injury in December, though he didn't miss any game action. He finished the 2025 season with 76 tackles (57 solo) and 14 pass breakups, including three interceptions. Wiggins is expected to be a big part of Minter's defense in Baltimore.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Past head injury
Rotowire
Hamilton (concussion) intercepted a pass during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.
The All-Pro safety suffered a concussion during Baltimore's Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh and had to exit in the second half. His participation in the Pro Bowl Games suggests he's past the issue. That's good for the Ravens, who committed to their 2022 first-round pick, who has made an All-Pro team after each of the last three seasons, with a four-year, $100.4 million extension last August.

Ravens' Dre'Mont Jones: Struggles in Baltimore
Rotowire
Jones tallied 43 total tackles (19 solo) including 7.0 sacks with one pass defensed across 18 appearances in 2025.
The 29-year-old linebacker was dealt from Tennessee to Baltimore in early November, appearing in nine games with each team. In the four games prior to the trade, Jones was one of the league's most productive pass rushers, recording 4.5 sacks. However, he struggled with his new club and tallied just 2.5 sacks for the Ravens. Now set to hit unrestricted free agency, Jones could be a hot commodity for teams in need of a starting-caliber pass rusher.

Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Minimal impact this season
Rotowire
Van Noy recorded 20 total tackles (12 solo) including 2.0 sacks, and four passes defensed including one interception, across 15 games in 2025.
The 34-year-old edge rusher logged just 488 defensive snaps, and his 2.0 sacks marked his lowest output since 2016 with the Patriots. Van Noy struggled to get after the quarterback but contributed in coverage, recording the sixth-most passes defensed on the Ravens. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the veteran defender could draw interest from teams in need of pass-rush depth in 2026.

Ravens' Tavius Robinson: Career year in 2025
Rotowire
Robinson tallied 28 total tackles (15 solo), including 4.5 sacks, with one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 10 games in 2025.
Despite missing seven games due to injury in 2025, the third-year pro played 447 defensive snaps and emerged as one of the Ravens' top outside linebackers. Robinson's 4.5 sacks were a career high, and were the second most of any Baltimore defender. Entering the final season of his rookie contract, he's likely to start opposite 2025 second-round pick Mike Green as the Ravens' top edge-rush duo in 2026.

Ravens' Mike Green: Tallies 3.5 sacks in rookie season
Rotowire
Green appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with 41 tackles (17 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Green started in just one game in 2025, but the rookie second-rounder played a prominent role in the Ravens defense. He logged at least 50 percent of defensive snaps in 14 of 17 games, even after Baltimore acquired Dre'Mont Jones from the Titans in early November. Green's 3.5 sacks were tied with Darius Alexander for seventh among rookies and third-most on the team behind Travis Jones (5.0) and Tavius Robinson (4.5). Green would be in line for a larger role in 2026 if veteran edge rusher Kyle Van Noy -- who is an unrestricted free agent -- does not return to Baltimore.

Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Plays 14 games in 2025
Rotowire
Awuzie registered 43 tackles (29 solo) and seven pass defenses across 14 games for the Ravens in 2025.
Awuzie was limited to just eight games with the Titans in 2024 due to a hamstring injury before being released by Tennessee in March. He inked a one-year deal with Baltimore that same month and managed to stay on the field more in 2025. He started at corner in each of the first four games of the season but played 60 percent or less of the Ravens' defensive snaps in eight of his last 10 outings, which may have been due to multiple injuries that he was managing. Awuzie is an unrestricted free agent and will look to join a team in need of veteran depth in the secondary.

Ravens' Travis Jones: Career year in 2025
Rotowire
Jones tallied 47 total tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
The fourth-year pro from UConn started all 16 games in which he appeared and amassed a career-high 738 defensive snaps this season. The increased workload translated to production, as Jones set new personal bests in total tackles, sacks and forced fumbles in 2025. Following his three-year, $40.5 million extension in early December, Jones is expected to remain one of Baltimore's top defensive linemen for years to come.

Rotowire
Hamilton (concussion) recorded 105 total tackles (59 solo), including 1.0 sacks, nine passes defensed and two forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Hamilton did it all for Baltimore's defense this season, tying for the team lead in forced fumbles, ranking second in total tackles, tying for second in tackles for loss and finishing third in passes defensed. The 2022 first-round pick from Notre Dame plays all over the field for the Ravens, logging 355 snaps in the box, 298 in the slot, 164 on the defensive line, 162 at free safety, and 24 at outside corner in 2025. His versatility makes him one of the NFL's premier defensive players, and he's expected to remain one of Baltimore's top defenders in 2026.

Ravens' Trenton Simpson: Solid season in Baltimore
Rotowire
Simpson recorded 66 total tackles (34 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one pass defensed across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
Despite appearing in all 17 of the Ravens' games this season, the Clemson product started just six contests and primarily served as the team's top reserve inside linebacker behind Roquan Smith and Teddye Buchanan (knee, IR). Even so, Simpson tallied a career-high 2.5 sacks and finished with only seven fewer total tackles than in 2024, all while playing 213 fewer defensive snaps. With Smith and Buchanan both returning for next season, Simpson will likely play another reserve role in 2026.

Rotowire
Humphrey recorded 68 total tackles (53 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 13 passes defensed, including four interceptions, and two forced fumbles over 15 regular-season games in 2025.
The veteran cornerback from Alabama remained one of Baltimore's top defenders in 2025, leading the team in interceptions while ranking second in passes defensed. Over the past two seasons, Humphrey is tied for the second-most interceptions and fourth-most passes defensed in the NFL, despite missing three regular-season contests. He remains under contract through next season and is expected to serve as the Ravens' top slot corner in 2026.

Starks, a 2025 first-round pick from Georgia, started 15 of the 17 games he appeared in this season, logging a whopping 1,060 defensive snaps. He finished his rookie campaign with the third-most interceptions and the fourth-most total tackles on the Ravens' defense. Even after Baltimore added safety Alohi Gilman via trade in early October, Starks was a regular in team's secondary. He's expected to continue emerging as one of the NFL's top young safeties in 2026.

Ravens' Alohi Gilman: Performs well in Baltimore
Rotowire
Gilman posted 90 total tackles (50 solo), nine passes defensed and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2025.
Gilman began the season with the Chargers and appeared in five games prior to being dealt to the Ravens in early October. The 28-year-old from Notre Dame was a huge addition to Baltimore's defense, as the team allowed 35.4 points per game prior to his arrival and just 17.0 after. Gilman tallied a career-high 90 stops while recording the second-most passes defensed of his career (nine) as well. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, he's likely to draw significant interest from teams in need of secondary help.

Ravens' Roquan Smith: Production dips in 2025
Rotowire
Smith tallied 130 total tackles (76 solo) and three passes defensed across 15 regular-season games in 2025.
Despite missing two contests during Baltimore's 2025 campaign, the 28-year-old led the team in total tackles for the third consecutive season. That said, Smith posted fewer total tackles (154 to 130), sacks (1.5 to zero), passes defensed (four to three), interceptions (one to zero) and forced fumbles (one to zero) than he did in 2024, all while playing 15 more defensive snaps this year. The All-Pro linebacker remains under contract through the 2027 season, so he's expected to operate as the Ravens' defensive signal-caller again in 2026.

Once fully healthy, he's expected to remain an integral part of the Ravens' linebacker corps.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Done for the game
Rotowire
Hamilton (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with the Steelers.
The safety was evaluated for a possible concussion earlier in the second half, and he had to go to the locker room immediately after the evaluation. Hamilton had nine tackles (six solo) and a pass breakup at the time of his exit. Ar'Darius Washington, Malaki Starks and Keondre Jackson are Baltimore's extra safeties.
