One month from the open market, here’s where the Ravens stand with their free agents-to-be.

The Eagles won't be overhauled like the Super Bowl XLVII champion Ravens, but they're likely facing significant changes.

The Ravens never had a chance to draft one of the top wide receivers, but should they have taken one in the second or third round?

Looking for an edge: Ravens out to find a pass rusher in draft

The Ravens today released outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil, an expected move given their salary cap situation and his age, declining numbers.

For the Ravens, their last stand in an uneven 2016 regular season has to be made now.

Sporting News published a list of the worst contracts for every NFL team and Dennis Pitta, and several former Ravens were included.

The Ravens seemingly lose a handful of top unrestricted free agents every year. But this offseason, their list of potential unrestricted free agents isn't as notable as it has been in the past.

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 say that their goal is not to redo quarterback Joe Flacco's contract. What did you expect them to say?

Analysis of the offense, defense, special teams and intangibles in Ravens-Browns.

Ravens outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw saw his role expand when Terrell Suggs was lost for the season with an injury. So far, Upshaw hasn't produced Suggs-like results.

Unless the Ravens change their scheme or make a major addition, fourth-year linebacker Courtney Upshaw stands to gain the most from star pass rusher Terrell Suggs' season-ending Achilles tendon tear. Also, expect Crockett Gillmore to contribute on Sunday.

A couple of weeks into training camp, former Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata still hasn't taken the practice field for the Detroit Lions.

Now that former Ravens outside linebacker Pernell McPhee has officially joined the Chicago Bears on a five-year deal worth nearly $40 million, the veteran pass rusher intends to provide an intimidation factor to his new football team.

Pernell McPhee's rported deal with the Chicago Bears became official Wednesday, marking the formal loss of the Ravens' second defensive starter in as many days, along with tackle Haloti Ngata.

Ravens veteran outside linebacker Pernell McPhee is heading to the Chicago Bears on a five-year contract worth nearly $40 million, according to league sources.

Annually lacking the salary cap space to make major outside additions and content to reward their own players while building through the draft, the Ravens traditionally stay quiet through the first couple days of free agency when money changes hands at an eye-popping rate.

On Thursday at the annual State of the Ravens address, Steve Bisciotti, seated alongside Ravens president Dick Cass, general manager Ozzie Newsome and head coach John Harbaugh, was relaxed, introspective and clearly excited about the future of the organization.

Four years after the Ravens drafted Pernell McPhee in the fifth round out of Mississippi State, the veteran outside linebacker is expected to leave the organization as a free agent.

Now, McPhee is poised to become the latest young defensive player to leave the Ravens and cash in as a free agent.

"I told Marshal, 'You'll be fine, you could probably play quarterback,'" Kubiak said.

The conditioning test that retired middle linebacker Rolando McClain was unable to complete during an unsuccessful workout for team officials Tuesday at the Ravens' training complex consists of six timed interval runs.

No team has been awarded more compensatory picks than the Ravens, who have shown that they are able to identify talent in the draft and unafraid to let talented but costly contributors leave in free agency.

The Ravens have gotten more compensatory picks than any team in the NFL and they were awarded four more today.

The Ravens' front office has been busy, but this week's owners meetings give them an opportunity to get even more done.

The NFL's annual offseason free agent spending spree won't officially get underway until March 11, but the Ravens will have a $6.7 million decision to make within the next couple of weeks.

Free agency will start in a little over a month, but two things have become apparent: it's going to be tough for the Ravens to upgrade at center and the Ravens are in line to lose several defensive free agents.

The Ravens¿ most likely franchise player candidate is tight end Dennis Pitta. It would cost the Ravens $6.7 million in salary and cap space under a one-year franchise tender.

"The Ravens aren't cheap," said Joel Corry, a former NFL agent who writes about the business of football for National Football Post. Now the team must face several complicated personnel and financial decisions.

When the Ravens signed Corey Graham to a two-year, $4.204 million contract two years ago that included a $1.2 million signing bonus, they promised him a shot at a role beyond special teams. Two years later, the former Chicago Bears Pro Bowl special-teams ace has emerged as a valuable nickel back and spot starter whom the Ravens would like to retain as an unrestricted free agent.
