Baltimore

Ravens

Harbaugh said Mitchell’s return to the field in 2024 was miraculous after the former UDFA made his way back from a torn ACL that ended his 2023 campaign. Mitchell rushed for 47-396-2 as a rookie but ran just 15 times for 30 yards after returning to action. While the presence of Derrick Henry undoubtedly affected Mitchell’s ability to get on the field, it sounds as if his limited snaps may have been partially due to the after-effects of his injury. Henry is still under contract next season, and Mitchell was never expected to dominate backfield touches. That said, if he flashes in offseason programs and during training camp, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Ravens found a way to get him more involved in 2025.

Henry, 31, continued to play like one of the top running backs in the league in his first season with the Ravens. He fell just shy of the second 2,000-yard season of his career but averaged a career-best 5.9 YPC while also leading the league with 16 rushing touchdowns. Henry only has one year left on his current deal, and he’s bound to slow down at some point. But he’ll again be expected to shoulder the load in Baltimore’s backfield next season and an extension could give Henry some additional security.

Harbaugh is fresh off signing a three-year extension of his own. Now, the long-time coach is on record saying a new deal could be in the works for Jackson “sooner or later.” Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract extension in 2023 and is under contract through the 2027 season. That said, with a league salary cap that is likely to see a continued increase in the coming seasons, the Ravens would be wise to give Jackson a new deal before his current one nears expiration. Jackson, 28, is a two-time MVP who nearly won a third MVP after a 2024 season in which he threw for 4,172-41-4 while adding another 915 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. His 2026 cap number balloons to $74.650 million, but that number can likely be reduced with a new deal, creating added incentive for the Ravens to get something done.

“He’s just too good of a player,” Harbaugh added. The Ravens have said all the right things on keeping Andrews this offseason despite a trade making some sense. It’s possible Baltimore works out an extension. With Isaiah Likely in the final year of his rookie contract, it’s also possible that Baltimore simply lets Andrews play out the final year of his contract. They could then work to re-sign the younger Likely. Either way, with the threat of a trade seemingly gone, Andrews remains a midrange TE1 for fantasy purposes heading into the draft.

Campbell will turn 39 in September and is deciding whether to return for an 18th season. According to Jackson, retirement “isn’t out of the question, either,” for Campbell, who continues to play well despite his age. Campbell totaled 52 tackles and five sacks for the Dolphins last season and has had five or more sacks in each of his last three seasons.

It goes without saying that Justin Tucker’s tenure with the Ravens is likely trending toward an end as the Ravens and the league continue to investigate the sexual misconduct allegations that have followed the veteran kicker since the season’s end. Tucker converting on a career-low 73.3 percent of his field goal attempts last season likely isn’t helping his case, either. This is the strongest any member of the Ravens organization has sounded so far about moving on from Tucker, as the organizational message has more often been one of letting the league’s investigation play out. Saying “no matter what” sure paints a picture of some unsavory results in that investigation.

The Ravens are holding firm with the plans they outlined roughly one month ago. Tucker is being investigated for sexual misconduct allegations made by 16 women. The team has reportedly received “periodic updates” from the league, but the investigation is evidently still ongoing. Per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Eric DeCosta acknowledged that the team “is looking at kickers in the draft.”

Harbaugh’s current deal was set to expire after the upcoming season. The 62-year-old head coach has guided the Ravens to double-digit regular season wins in each of the last three seasons. The team has advanced to the AFC Championship Game once during that span while making the playoffs each year, resulting in a 2-3 postseason record. This will be Harbaugh’s 18th season with the Ravens.

The Seahawks add more competition at kick returner with the addition of Sims. He returned 21 punts for 122 yards and seven kicks for 195 yards between the Ravens and Texans last season. As a receiver, he offers depth, though he did not have a regular season reception in 2024. He totaled 19 yards on two offensive touches in the playoffs for the Ravens. Ultimately, Sims adds a little offensive depth but will more likely compete for return specialist snaps for the Seahawks.

Awuzie made it through just one year of a three-year contract with the Titans last offseason, missing time due to a groin injury. The veteran corner has now played just 1,566 snaps in three years since his standout 2021 season. Entering his age-30 season, he’ll likely be in line to start at outside corner for the Ravens next year, with T.J. Tampa and Awuzie’s own injuries as the camp competition for the spot.
