Haloti Ngata will be back in Baltimore to officially retire as a Raven.

Peter Schmuck's weighs in on Rich Hill, Ezekiel Elliott, Koji Uehara, Jim Kelly, Gleyber Torres and more.

This is an offseason of change for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense he will now lead.

Joe Horn Jr. was a tryout player at the team's rookie minicamp this month and “looked really good,” coach John Harbaugh said.

After a chaotic few months, have the Ravens improved since last year? To get a sense for the big picture, start on a smaller scale.

Four of the team’s draft picks are known by more evocative monikers, headlined by former Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown.

The Ravens delivered messages to some of their current players with their draft picks.

As the Ravens set out during this weekend’s NFL draft to give Jackson weapons, their methodology on offense became clear over six rounds and eight selections: They were not just trying to build the team around Jackson. They were trying to build something like a track team for him, too.

Kicker Justin Tucker, 29, signed a contract extension with the Ravens through 2023 reportedly worth $23.05 million, including $12.5 million fully guaranteed.

In a 10-day period over the past month in St. Landry Parish, three churches were burned. Steve Bisciotti reached out to former Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson to help.

In his first comments since the Ravens’ season-ending playoff loss, quarterback Lamar Jackson offered a critical evaluation. It was of himself.

Ever since the Ravens moved to Baltimore from Cleveland in 1996, Eric DeCosta has been in the shadows of either head coaches or general managers. Now, it’s his time to step into the spotlight and under the microscope.

For years, coach John Harbaugh has talked about being physical at the point of attack, but the Ravens haven’t invested a lot of top draft picks on offensive linemen.

Only four teams finished with fewer takeaways than the Ravens’ 17 in 2018, but free-agent signing Earl Thomas should help.

Instead of caving in to some public sentiment after the first days teams could negotiate with free agents, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta waited until the high money was invested into the so-called top unrestricted free agents and then walked away with one of the best safeties in the NFL.

Earl Thomas signed a four-year deal with the Ravens worth a reported $55 million, another expensive but impressive piece in the team’s defensive backfield.

Former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Ravens. He ranks second in Saints franchise history in rushing yardage and first in rushing touchdowns.

Former Steelers tar Le'Veon Bell had been atop the wish list for many in Baltimore.

If the Ravens want to build on last season’s playoff run, they can look to the Patriots for blueprints.

Each year the NFL becomes even more average and that forces the coaching gap between Bill Belichick and the other coaches to become greater.

Let’s be honest, you’re going to watch the Super Bowl tonight. You might feel indifferent about the two teams playing if you’re one of the many who will tune into the Super Bowl so you have something to talk about at the office tomorrow morning, so I've put together this rooting guide.

The lawsuit filed in New Orleans over the terrible officiating error in the NFC title game isn't going to cancel the Super Bowl, but it is going to shame the league into fixing the holes in its inadequate replay system.

John Harbaugh acknowledged that the decisions on Marshal Yanda and Eric Weddle are still pending but was hopeful they’d go the Ravens’ way.

Under Harbaugh’s previous contract, he was set to become a highly coveted coaching free agent after the 2019 season.

Before the NFL considers making pass interference calls subject to replay review, the league might want to consider what will happen in the future.

Sunday's conference championship games were exciting, competitive and featured some of the league’s best coaches, but poor officiating dominated the conversation. It’s just another Sunday in the NFL.

The blown pass interference call in last night's NFC championship game not only embarrassed the league, it almost certainly sent the wrong team to the Super Bowl. That was entirely preventable.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh became the subject of possible trade speculation as his team made a playoff push before reportedly nearing a contract extension Saturday.

The last time the Ravens made a statement about head coach John Harbaugh’s contract status was Dec. 21, the night before the team played the Los Angeles Chargers in California.

The Ravens face another offseason of uncertainty at wide receiver, where their ballyhooed additions failed to produce once Lamar Jackson took over at quarterback.

Regardless if he ever wins a Super Bowl, Andy Reid has been successful and is one of the most respected coaches in the NFL. But if he gets to the summit, it will be special.

If you just want to know enough to get by, you've come to the right place.

Here are the fatal flaws for the entire NFL playoff field.

Right guard Marshal Yanda and slot cornerback Tavon Young were the only players to miss Wednesday’s practice, and Yanda was given the day off as a veteran.

Two weeks ago, an Annapolis native and Ravens fan promised him: "Eric I’ll buy you an ice cream truck if we win the division."

The Ravens have been here before: in a position to make the playoffs with a late-season victory against a division opponent. This time they vow to seal the deal.

Leading the AFC North for the first time since Week 6, the Ravens (9-6) can claim the division Sunday for the first time since 2012 with a win at home Sunday in their regular-season finale over the Cleveland Browns (7-7-1) or a loss by the Steelers (8-6-1) to the visiting Cincinnati Bengals (6-9).

After a 22-10 win Saturday over the Los Angeles Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss Sunday to the New Orleans Saints, the Ravens (9-6) could win the AFC North and earn the No. 4 seed even without a win in Week 17 over the Cleveland Browns.

The Ravens looked like every bit a Super Bowl contender with their 22-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night. Now, just one more obstacle remains before they reach the playoffs.

With a 22-10 win over the Chargers at StubHub Center, the Ravens (9-6) authored another defensive masterclass — 198 yards allowed, three turnovers forced — and made their playoff path straightforward.

For years, the Ravens haven't been able to get a consistent pass rush, especially in big games against quality opponents. They did Saturday night against the Chargers.

The Baltimore Sun's Ravens experts offer their instant analysis from Saturday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Ravens have fallen just short of beating the NFL's top teams in recent seasons. Now, they have to do it against the Los Angeles Chargers or face a gloomy end to the current era of the franchise.

In the Ravens’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Orlando Brown Jr. will likely face the duo of Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa.

The decision to make New York Jets kicker Jason Myers the AFC representative to the Pro Bowl over Justin Tucker “is kind of a big-time head-scratcher” for the Ravens head coach.

Teams that were super earlier this season like Kansas City, New Orleans, the Los Angeles Rams and even the New England Patriots now appear vulnerable and beatable.

Tight end Nick Boyle suffered a concussion in the second half of Sunday’s win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and did not participate in Tuesday’s walkthrough.

The Ravens would guarantee themselves an AFC playoff berth with two more victories. But if they lose Saturday night, they might not live to have a shot in Week 17.

By Sunday night, the Ravens could be atop the AFC North, possibly headed for a home playoff game.

A lot has changed in nine months for the Ravens, as they've transitioned from Joe Flacco to Lamar Jackson at quarterback.
