There isn't a whole lot left on a free-agent wide receiver market that the Ravens have been extremely active with, but Decker does have some qualities the Ravens lack.

The Ravens certainly need to clear some salary cap space, but that doesn't mean they need to create big roster holes to do it.

The Ravens young guns on defense can play, and they will be needed to replace Jimmy Smith, Mike Preston writes.

Sure, offseason additions have been key in turning a suspect unit into one of the NFL's best. But nothing has contributed more to the re-emergence of the Ravens 'D' than getting back their disruptive man in the middle.

The group, led by veterans Jimmy Smith and Brandon Carr and precocious rookie Marlon Humphrey, has been the strength of the team.

Marlon Brown, Will Davis and Kapron Lewis-Moore are among former Ravens looking for new homes.

Four days after signing a three-year, $15.025 million deal with the Ravens, offensive tackle Austin Howard still hasn’t practiced with his new team and it isn’t clear why.

After missing back-to-back practices with a sore right shoulder, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco returned to the field, a good sign for his availability Sunday.

Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season on the power play and assisted on one of T.J. Oshie's two goals as the Washington Capitals defeated the Colorado Avalanche, 3-0, on Tuesday night.

With an empty practice squad spot at their disposal, the Baltimore Ravens brought back cornerback/kick returner Asa Jackson.

The Ravens' 2012 draft class, which is all gone now, is generally viewed as a disappointment. But the organization may not have won a second Super Bowl without it.

Mississippi's Laquon Treadwell might be the draft's best receiver, but he's hardly a sure thing.

Having already served a four-game suspension to end his rookie season, Ravens tight end Nick Boyle will now be banned for the first 10 games in 2016 after again being found in violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

It was only three years ago when the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31, to capture Super Bowl XLVII. So much has changed since.

The Ravens had five 15-yard penalties last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but only Kendrick Lewis was fined for his infraction.

It took Cassius Vaughn several months to find a job, but he returns to the Ravens with a better perspective on his career

Ravens running back Terrance West (Towson), who was added to the active roster Wednesday, changed his number from No. 42 to No. 27 on Thursday.

With 10 interceptions through nine games, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is on pace to throw 18 picks for the season, which would be eight more than he threw last season and the second most that he's thrown in his career.

The Ravens aren't out of the playoff picture mathematically, but there is already a shift to looking toward next season. There's no need to risk injury to veteran players.

Before Ravens' fans ultimately decided to blame the officials, they had focused their frustration on Elvis Dumervil, but that was misguided.

Ravens punt returner Jeremy Ross says that the wind was partly to blame for his most recent fumble, but his issues are mounting.

Asa Jackson struggled at cornerback and lost the primary return job, but he's found a new role for the Ravens.

Top league officials might ignore some of the issues because the NFL is a money-making monster gobbling up billions every year, but the on-the-field product has dropped in quality. A lot of games have lost appeal. Officiating has been horrendous and seems to get worse every week. Injuries continue to mount, especially to star players who are disappearing as fast as the fundamentals.

Ravens special teams coordinator-associate head coach Jerry Rosburg got the game ball for his unit's outstanding game against the San Diego Chargers.

It¿s been the story of cornerback Asa Jackson's Ravens career. Glimpses of explosiveness and great potential mixed with mistakes and lapses in judgment.

The Ravens were angry about several things following a 26-18 loss and one of those things was the performance of the officials.

If you watch the Ravens long enough during this 2015 season, you'll inevitably get a reminder of why a season that once held such most promise has dissolved into one of the most disappointing years in franchise history.

It's mistake after mistakes after mistake. Even until the end, when the Ravens couldn't connect on a last-second pass in the back of the end zone.There is still the strong criticism that this team lacks playmakers and that's true. But that was only part of the problem in the Ravens' 26-18 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

For the first time all season, the Ravens scored on their first drive. But they needed to settle for a field goal by Justin Tucker rather than a touchdown partly because of a curious call by referee Ronald Torbert.

There's seemingly no surefire recipe for success in building an NFL secondary, but one thing could become abundantly clear when the Ravens face the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have found a formula that works for them, while the Ravens haven't.

Two Ravens starting defensive backs are questionable for Monday night's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
