The Baltimore Ravens have seen themselves become public enemy No. 1 after they backed out of the Maxx Crosby trade, only to sign Trey Hendrickson hours later.

But the franchise has made other moves as Jesse Minter's vision has begun to take shape.
Yes, the Ravens have lost stars too, with Tyler Linderbaum and Isaiah Likely the key players who moved on.
So, how would we grade Baltimore's free agency so far? CBS Sports' Garrett Podell has given them a B- grade.
"Baltimore still has plenty of needs to address, but at least they have a first-round pick once again after the voided Crosby trade," Podell wrote. "If they can get two-time Pro Bowl defensive linemen Nnamdi Madubuike to return after suffering a season-ending neck injury, the Ravens offseason grade would certainly climb."

Can Ravens climb in 2026?
Well, you wouldn't think that the franchise will deal with the same magnitude of injuries it did last season, again, right?
Baltimore was crippled, and now, the franchise can hopefully look forward to an "easier" 2026.
Of course, we know that doesn't always happen, and Minter will want his defense to be far better than what was produced last season. Plus, the offense under Lamar Jackson has to improve, which could be hard with no Linderbaum or Likely.
The offseason moves have been fine, but more is needed, and time will tell if the franchise sees a need to add more in the coming weeks.
But right now, the Ravens' offseason has been good, but not great.
