For the Baltimore Ravens, 2025 is no different. Despite boasting one of the most balanced and star-studded rosters in the league, Baltimore also faces an increasingly unavoidable question: What should they do with tight end Mark Andrews?</p><p>It’s not a knock on Andrews’ talent, resume, or effort. He’s been a cornerstone of the offense for seven seasons. He has been a security blanket for Lamar Jackson and a perennial Pro Bowl presence. However, as the Ravens <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/bal">sharpen their roster</a> for a title run, all signs are pointing to a transition at tight end. As such, Andrews potentially becomes the most obvious trade candidate entering 2025 training camp.</p><h2><b>A Quiet Offseason, but a Smart One</b></h2><p>The Ravens weren’t flashy this offseason, but general manager Eric DeCosta made smart, targeted moves to keep the team in contention.</p><p>Yes, they lost versatile lineman Patrick Mekari. That said, the Ravens retained left tackle Ronnie Stanley and extended Derrick Henry. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-derrick-henry-breaks-silence-30-million-contract-extension">With Henry under contract</a> through 2027, Baltimore’s run game remains a force.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Derrick-Henry-of-the-Baltimore-Ravens.jpg"><figcaption>Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In the passing game, the team added DeAndre Hopkins <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-rashod-bateman-about-what-expects-deandre-hopkins">on a one-year, $5 million deal</a>. He offers reliable hands and route-running that should fit better alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. With tight end Isaiah Likely, Jackson has one of the NFL’s most balanced supporting casts.</p><p>Defensively, Baltimore got younger and faster. First-round safety Malaki Starks joins Kyle Hamilton to form a potentially elite duo. Edge rusher Mike Green brings upside off the edge.</p><p>Baltimore’s offseason wasn’t about splashy signings. It was about building on what works. With minimal holes on either side of the ball, the Ravens head into training camp as a true Super Bowl contender.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at the obvious Baltimore Ravens trade candidate entering the 2025 NFL training camp.</p><h2><b>The Mark Andrews Question</b></h2><p>And yet, amid all that good news, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-gm-update-mark-andrews-trade-rumors">the situation with Andrews looms</a>.</p><p>There has been no shortage of trade speculation involving the 29-year-old tight end for some time now. Even before the 2025 NFL Draft, DeCosta was cryptic when asked directly about Andrews’ future.</p><p>“We have a lot of different balls in the air right now,” DeCosta said.</p><p>He neither denied nor confirmed anything. Still, the message was clear: the Ravens are open to anything that could make the team better.</p><p>That window of opportunity hasn’t closed. For Andrews, it might be narrowing in Baltimore.</p><p>He remains productive, but he’s also expensive, aging, and entering the final year of a four-year, $56 million deal. That makes him an extremely intriguing trade chip. The Ravens also have a natural heir in Likely, who many believe is ready to assume the TE1 mantle.</p><p>Likely has the kind of athleticism that modern offenses crave. He can stretch the field vertically and improvise alongside Jackson when plays break down. He’s younger, more explosive, and increasingly favored in crunch-time reads.</p><p>Letting Andrews go wouldn’t be easy, though. He has been something of an icon for the franchise. However, the Ravens have to think long-term. That means getting ahead of future salary-cap complications. It’s also worth noting that Likely is set to become a free agent after the 2025 season. If Baltimore plans to build around him moving forward, it must start by giving him the full-time role now.</p><h2><b>One Last Misstep</b></h2><p>Of course, it’s impossible to talk about Andrews’ current situation without mentioning the brutal playoff moment that may have accelerated this transition. In last year’s Divisional Round against the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens were seconds away from a game-tying two-point conversion. Jackson bought time, fired a strike, and the ball infamously slipped through Andrews’ hands.</p><p>The drop wasn’t just costly. It was defining. For a player who had long been reliable in high-stakes moments, it was a rare and painful lapse. It cast a shadow over what was otherwise a strong season and fueled offseason doubt that hasn’t gone away.</p><p>Andrews, to his credit, has been reflective and committed. By all accounts, he’s ready to redeem himself. Still, the reality is this: Baltimore doesn’t need him to do that anymore.</p><h2><b>A Logical, If Painful, Next Step</b></h2><p>There would be no shortage of suitors for a tight end of Andrews’ caliber. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Seattle Seahawks are all looking to add veteran pass-catching help at tight end. Any of them could easily justify a trade package.</p><p>Baltimore is in win-now mode but also building for the next phase. Keeping both Andrews and Likely long-term is improbable. Trading Andrews now could net a valuable Day 2 pick and create more cap flexibility for looming extensions.</p><p>Andrews’ legacy in Baltimore is secure. But as the Ravens prepare for a Super Bowl push, it’s clear: the team’s future at tight end belongs to Isaiah Likely — and Mark Andrews might be the most obvious trade candidate in the NFL heading into 2025 camp.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s got all the talent in the world, but the Ravens don’t throw the football as much as other offenses do. And of course, Mark Andrews is still there,” Yates explained.</p><p>“I think at some point we see that segue and Isaiah likely becomes a part of an offense that defensive coordinators begin the week and they say, we have to find a way to slow down Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. But Isaiah likely is not that far down the pecking order of responsibilities.”</p><p>In the NFL, few teams make a tight end a featured part of their passing offense, with just <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2024/receiving.htm#receiving::rec_yds" rel="noopener">17 players</a> reaching 500 or more yards in 2024. Could the Ravens become the rare team with two 500-yard tight ends, with Likely and Andrews forming the best 1-2 punch in the NFL? Considering how high both Yates and the organization appear to be on the tandem, that feels like a safe bet.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"I think there's a chance that we're talking about Isaiah Likely as one of the 8 or 10 best tight ends in football in the next couple of years."<a href="https://twitter.com/FieldYates?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FieldYates</a> on Isaiah Likely's future in the league 👀 <a href="https://t.co/KpEQ7aib1I">pic.twitter.com/KpEQ7aib1I</a></p><p>— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNNFL/status/1938703647161843888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He stands by his previous statements.  In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter.</p><p>“The people who know Justin best know his character and understand that while he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important lifetime roles as a father, husband, and friend.”</p><p>Tucker’s suspension is set to take place on roster cutdown day, which is August 26, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on November 11.

We sincerely wish him and his family the very best in this next chapter of their lives.”</p><p>At this point, it’s uncertain if a team will decide to sign Tucker this season with his suspension and the allegations.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Ravens offered two different three-year deals that the team “considered” to be fully guaranteed. Jackson declined both offers and requested a trade. DeCosta asked for a list of teams to which Jackson would accept a trade. Jackson never provided a list.”</p><p>So the obvious question is: How did it get resolved?</p><p>“Here it is, from page 32 of the document:” Florio wrote. “Mr. DeCosta was preparing for the 2023 draft in April 2023 under the assumption that Mr. Jackson would no longer be playing for the Ravens, but on the eve of the draft, sent Mr. Jackson a new offer. . . . Much to Mr. DeCosta’s surprise, Mr. Jackson quickly accepted it.”</p><h2><b>QB Lamar Jackson seems to be happy these days</b></h2><p>Jackson has his money.

I’m still 200 [pounds].”</p><p>Jackson said he wants to get his team over the hump in the playoffs.</p><p>“I feel like just bonding with my guys will help us out a lot more on the field,” Jackson said. “Picking each other’s brains, being around each other a lot more.

They have former MVP Lamar Jackson still in his prime and bulldozing back Derrick Henry ready to pummel defenses again. As such, the Ravens have their offensive identity firmly set. However, the difference between another deep playoff run and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy may lie in one daring, final move. If Baltimore truly wants to go all in, the time is now to make a blockbuster trade for All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill.</p><h2><b>Quiet Confidence in a Loaded Roster</b></h2><p>Though the Ravens weren’t exactly aggressive during the early offseason, there’s plenty to like about general manager Eric DeCosta’s overall approach.</p><p>The Ravens did lose starting lineman Patrick Mekari. That said, they also kept left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who might have been viewed as the top tackle in 2025 free agency had he actually reached it. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-derrick-henry-drops-bold-speed-claim-lamar-jackson">Baltimore also locked up King Henry</a> with a new two-year extension that will keep him signed through 2027.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Derrick-Henry-and-Lamar-Jackson.jpg"><figcaption>Troy Taormina-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This means that Henry should be distraction-free as he looks to follow up last season’s 1,921-yard rushing campaign.</p><p>The Ravens also took another swing at finding a reliable third receiver to complement Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, signing DeAndre Hopkins <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-rashod-bateman-about-what-expects-deandre-hopkins">to a one-year, $5 million deal</a>.</p><p>Yes, Hopkins is now more of a mid-level possession receiver than the elite No. 1 wideout he was early in his career. Still, adding him was an extremely logical move. His skill set should complement Flowers, Bateman, and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. That makes him a better fit than receivers Baltimore has tried for the WR3 role in the past.</p><p>There’s little reason to think that Jackson won’t be leading one of the NFL’s most exciting offenses again in 2025.</p><p>If Baltimore’s defense picks up where it left off at the end of the 2024 season, the Ravens should have one of the most complete rosters in the NFL this season.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at the perfect Baltimore Ravens move <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/bal">to fill out their roster</a> before the 2025 training camp.</p><h2><b>The Perfect Final Piece</b></h2><p>Baltimore doesn’t need a full-scale roster overhaul. What they need is one more elite weapon that forces opposing defenses into panic mode every snap. That’s exactly what Tyreek Hill <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dolphins-news-tyreek-hill-major-first-offseason-surgery">still brings to the table</a>.</p><p>Flowers and Bateman posted career-high receiving numbers in multiple categories. However, they aren’t on the same tier as Hill in playmaking ability. If the Ravens open the 2025 season with Jackson, Henry, and Hill, they would have arguably the league’s best quarterback-tailback-receiver trio.</p><h2><b>Spark the Perfect Opportunity</b></h2><p>Hill is coming off a down season in 2024. All season long, the Dolphins dealt with one issue or another. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was also only able to play in 11 games. Despite all of the issues, Hill still caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns.</p><p>Many receivers would already be happy with those numbers. For a player of Hill’s caliber, though, they weren’t close to what he wanted. He was very clearly frustrated at the end of the season.</p><p>With Hill entering the final two years of his contract, there could be a window for Baltimore to make a strong offer. Miami may listen if the Ravens are willing to part with a first-rounder and a mid-tier player.</p><h2><b>An Offense That Would Be Unstoppable</b></h2><p>Landing with the Ravens would be a dream scenario for Hill. He would fit perfectly into Baltimore’s electrifying offense and would open up the passing game even more for Jackson. With Hill stretching defenses deep, Flowers working underneath, and Henry punishing defenders on the ground, defensive coordinators would be stuck in no-win scenarios every week.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Tyreek-Hill-of-the-Miami-Dolphins-4.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There is no single coverage scheme that can neutralize Hill’s speed. His ability to turn a short gain into a 60-yard sprint is the kind of dynamic Baltimore’s offense has lacked.</p><h2><b>The Time to Win Is Now</b></h2><p>Tyreek Hill is 31. Lamar Jackson is in his prime. Derrick Henry may only have one more elite season in him. The Ravens have the cap flexibility, the draft capital, and the competitive window that screams for a bold, all-in move.</p><p>Eric DeCosta has never been afraid to take a swing—Roquan Smith, Marcus Peters, and Calais Campbell are just a few names that prove that. Adding Tyreek Hill would be the next and most daring swing yet.</p><p>And if it lands? Baltimore could finally turn Super Bowl expectations into reality.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The standout cornerback has decided to <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1937225174257938506" rel="noopener">keep wearing jersey No. 23</a>, the same number he proudly donned during his time with the Packers. This news comes just days after he signed a one-year contract with the Ravens, kicking off a new chapter in Baltimore’s defensive lineup.</p><p>During his seven seasons with the Packers, Alexander wore No. 23 in all 85 games, earning himself a spot as a two-time Pro Bowler and establishing himself as one of the league’s top defensive backs. Now, as he steps into a new uniform that already has a reputation for strong defense, that number will continue to represent him. The Ravens confirmed his jersey choice as part of a team update this week.</p><p>Keeping No. 23 wasn’t without its challenges, though. Linebacker Trenton Simpson had worn that number last season but will now switch to No. 32. While the specifics of the number change weren’t shared, the Ravens did announce the new assignments in their official statement.</p><p>Alexander’s bond with No. 23 runs deep, stemming from years of solid performance in the NFL. Although he wore No. 10 during his college days at Louisville, where he played alongside Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, he has truly made No. 23 his own in the professional arena. This sense of continuity might <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/article/jaire-alexander-wear-no-23-191954763.html" rel="noopener">provide him with some comfort</a> in a year filled with changes.</p><p>With Alexander now on board and his jersey number chosen, the Ravens are focusing on fostering chemistry in their revamped secondary. His experience is set to enhance the skills of younger players like Nate Wiggins, all while the team gears up for another shot at the playoffs.</p><p>As Baltimore redefines its defensive strategy, one thing stands out — Jaire Alexander is making sure to carry a piece of his Green Bay legacy right into his new jersey.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That means Alexander can be fully integrated into the team before the season begins. That’s music to the ears of head coach John Harbaugh.</p><p>“I had a chance to sit down with him today, which was an awesome time,” Harbaugh said. “He’s excited to be here, we’re excited to have him. It had been kind of behind the scenes in the works for a little bit. He wanted to be here, we wanted him here. It made Lamar (Jackson) happy. I think it made everybody happy.”</p><p>Of course, Alexander hasn’t been able to stay on the field. He played in exactly seven games in each of the last two seasons. That’s not enough for a player of his talent to push a team over the top — unless those seven games are the last of the season through the Super Bowl and he plays at a high level in all of them.</p><p>Harbaugh said the Ravens have a plan to help Alexander and guys like Chidobe Awuzie.</p><p>“Chido’s been the same thing, we’ve had those same kind of conversations, questions, when he came in,” Harbaugh said. “It’s very similar those two guys, highly talented guys that had to unfortunately deal with some injury woes. We want to get those guys healthy and rolling.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have Lamar Jackson still leading the way and a retooled supporting cast around him. The Ravens’ minicamp gave us an early window into a team with championship aspirations and real urgency. From offensive wrinkles and defensive surprises to the looming cloud of contract uncertainty, there’s no shortage of buzz coming out of Owings Mills.</p><h2><b>Quiet Confidence, Smart Additions</b></h2><p>Bringing back Ronnie Stanley in free agency was the Ravens’ top priority. They did just that, keeping their foundational left tackle in the fold. Stanley’s presence continues to be a stabilizing force for Jackson and a run game that will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-derrick-henry-drops-bold-speed-claim-lamar-jackson">once again feature the bruising</a> Derrick Henry.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Baltimore-Ravens-running-back-Derrick-Henry.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>General Manager Eric DeCosta followed that up with one of the more underappreciated drafts in the league. He landed impact or rotational talent across all three days. The team passed on making any splashy wide receiver moves. Instead, they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-rashod-bateman-about-what-expects-deandre-hopkins">took a low-risk gamble</a> on DeAndre Hopkins. They are banking on one last productive year from the former All-Pro. It’s a calculated risk given the inconsistency in the receiving corps. If the Ravens are going to finally get over the hump and into a Super Bowl, they’ll need their bets—new and old—to pay off.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at the three hottest takeaways that are coming out of the Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 minicamp.</p><h2><b>1. Charged-Up Offense</b></h2><p>There’s a different energy to this Ravens offense—and it’s not just the presence of Henry in the backfield. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-oc-todd-monken-finalizing-contract-extension">appears ready to open up</a> his playbook in 2025. Minicamp gave us glimpses of a system that looks far less rigid and more multidimensional.</p><p>The Ravens showed waggles, throwback screens, rollouts, and straight drop-backs. They moved Henry around creatively and unleashed Keaton Mitchell’s speed in the flat and on quick hitters. Over the middle, tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely were consistently targeted. Likely made the most of his long-ball opportunities. It’s a sign that Monken wants to stress defenses vertically and horizontally. That’s something Ravens fans have been begging for since Jackson’s MVP year.</p><p>The receiving corps, often criticized as Jackson’s Achilles heel, may be turning a corner. Zay Flowers continues to be the alpha, but Bateman has looked steady. Tylan Wallace is also flashing. Still, the breakout buzz belongs to second-year wideout Devontez Walker. The 2024 fourth-rounder from North Carolina looks more polished in his route running, creating separation with fluid footwork and sharper breaks. If Walker continues to ascend, the Ravens may finally have the trio they’ve needed to fully unlock Jackson’s arm talent.</p><h2><b>2. Diamonds in the D-Line</b></h2><p>Sure, much of the focus in Baltimore is understandably on the offense. However, the defense is brewing up some surprises of its own. Chief among them: rookie defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles. He is making an early case to be the steal of the Ravens’ draft class.</p><p>At 6’0, 289 pounds, Peebles won’t scare anyone with size. That said, it’s his technical skill and burst that stand out. He gets off the ball fast, slips past guards, and seems tailor-made to wreck slower-developing plays like counters and traps. The sixth-rounder out of Virginia Tech is earning reps by the day. If his trajectory holds, don’t be surprised if he finds a role in pass-rush sub-packages this fall.</p><p>Elsewhere on the line, there’s a sense of refinement underway. Second-year player CJ Ravenell has tools but tends to play too high. Veteran John Jenkins, meanwhile, is setting the tone in the trenches. His attention to detail is rubbing off on the younger linemen. Jenkins isn’t mistake-free, but his work ethic and leadership have made him invaluable during camp. Baltimore’s defensive identity often begins up front. This year’s group could quietly be one of the deepest in the AFC.</p><h2><b>3. Stellar Arm, Stubborn Habits</b></h2><p>Jackson’s first action in two weeks reminded everyone why he’s still the most electric dual-threat quarterback in the league. His short and intermediate throws were sharp, particularly to the outside—an area where he’s historically struggled. He even dialed in some 12-to-15-yard lasers with height and placement that turned heads.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Baltimore-Ravens-quarterback-Lamar-Jackson.jpg"><figcaption>Tina MacIntyre-Yee/Democrat and Chronicle / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>But the elephant in the room isn’t his arm—it’s his availability and commitment. Once again, Jackson was allowed to miss practices in the middle of the week and avoided early morning sessions, a setup the team has quietly maintained over the years to cater to its star. But with contract extension talks looming, one can’t help but wonder if the Ravens should start demanding more from their leader.</p><p>What would happen if Baltimore stopped pampering Jackson? Would the structure and accountability help him reach another gear? Or would it strain a relationship already marked by complex negotiations and postseason frustrations? Recall that Jackson is just 3–5 in the playoffs. Yes, much of that isn’t on him. Still, the time has come for the Ravens to figure out how to maximize the final years of his prime.</p><h2><b>Super Bowl or Bust Vibes</b></h2><p>The 2025 Baltimore Ravens aren’t sneaking up on anyone. They’ve <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/bal">got a loaded roster</a>, a top-tier defense, and an offense with new wrinkles and familiar stars. If minicamp is any indication, this is a team ready to chase something bigger than just an AFC North title. They’re chasing legacy.

Whether it’s the loss to the Tennessee Titans with the best record in football, the AFC Championship loss at home to the Kansas City Chiefs or last season’s loss to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round, Ravens fans have had their fair share of heartbreak.</p><p>Heading into 2025, the Ravens seem poised to have one of the best teams in the NFL once again. That became even more true when they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-baltimore-signs-jaire-alexander-right-after-lamar-jacksons-demand">signed former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander</a>. Alexander may not be the player that he used to be and has struggled with injuries over the last few years, but he is still a solid starter at a position of need for the Ravens.</p><p>That leaves the Ravens with sky-high expectations once again heading into the season, and it’s Super Bowl or bust <a href="https://x.com/ESPNNFL/status/1936180392085557510" rel="noopener">heading into 2025</a> according to ESPN NFL analyst Field Yates.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"On paper, this should be a no-excuses year for Baltimore."<a href="https://twitter.com/FieldYates?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FieldYates</a> breaks down how the Ravens' offseason raised expectations for Lamar Jackson and the squad 📈 <a href="https://t.co/6Z2dBvp368">pic.twitter.com/6Z2dBvp368</a></p><p>— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNNFL/status/1936180392085557510?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 20, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“The Ravens last year had one of the worst pass rush win rates in the entire NFL, they couldn’t get a lot of pressures in some of their biggest moments,” Yates said. “Last year when they lost to Buffalo and Philadelphia, they managed just five pressures. That’s not gonna cut it. … Pass rush, often is as good as the secondary behind it. Sometimes, the secondary is as good as the pass rush in front of it. Now, on paper, this should be a no excuses year for Baltimore.</p><p>“I don’t sit there and identify a single area on the roster where I don’t say that’s quality enough to potentially compete for a championship.”</p><p>Alexander will play next to both Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins to form one of the best cornerback groups in football. That should shore up a secondary that had its rough patches last season with giving up explosive plays.</p><p>Pair an improved defense with another elite offensive unit led by Jackson, and this Ravens squad should be one of the best teams in the NFL next season. However, none of it will matter if they can’t finally get it done when it matters.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Speaking at minicamp this week, the 24-year-old wideout made it clear that he’s eager to reshape how people see Baltimore’s receiving corps, a group that’s faced its fair share of criticism for not living up to expectations.</p><p>“I wanted to change the narrative about receivers here,” Bateman shared with NFL Network’s The Insiders. “And I truly believe we’re heading in the right direction to do just that.”</p><p>Bateman recently inked a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension and is coming off a standout 2024 <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/article/rashod-bateman-hints-ravens-wrs-155718560.html" rel="noopener">season where he racked up</a> 45 receptions, 756 yards, and nine touchdowns. He made an impact in the postseason, racking up 90 yards and scoring two touchdowns, which helped the Ravens advance to the Divisional Round. His standout performance has secured his place in the team’s plans.</p><p>The addition of DeAndre Hopkins has only added to the excitement. <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/rashod-bateman-aims-to-flip-that-narrative-of-ravens-wrs-after-extension" rel="noopener">Bateman praised the vetera</a>n for being a vocal leader and a reliable source of wisdom in the receiver room. “He’s been fantastic for us, offering advice to all of us—not just me,” Bateman told NBC Sports. “We’re all younger guys, so we’re all ears, soaking up everything he has to share.”</p><p>Bateman also touched on the team’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ravens-news-marlon-humphrey-drops-truth-bomb-defense">latest defensive addition</a>, Jaire Alexander, who just signed with Baltimore this week. “It’s going to be a challenge,” he said about the practice matchups. “This defense is tough, and bringing in Jaire is only going to make us better.” The former All-Pro corner is expected to push the offense during training camp, sharpening the skills of the entire unit.</p><p>When it comes to Lamar Jackson, Bateman highlighted the quarterback’s physical shape and determination. “He does look leaner, quicker, and faster,” he noted. “The league better watch out, as usual.” That sense of confidence reflects the vibe at the team’s minicamp, where Bateman described a shared hunger and determination to “chase this ring.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
