The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for the next NFL season following an exhilarating Super Bowl. As they evaluate their roster, a key decision looms regarding the future of defensive tackle Justin Madubuike, who has emerged as a highly sought-after free agent.

With a stellar 13-4 record last season, the Ravens topped the AFC North standings under the guidance of coach John Harbaugh and the leadership of quarterback Lamar Jackson. Despite a dominant playoff victory over the Houston Texans, their postseason journey was cut short by a defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs.
In the offseason, Baltimore faces the challenge of either retaining Madubuike, who showcased his talent with a remarkable 13-sack season, or exploring options to bolster their roster, potentially targeting a running back in free agency. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler outlined the Ravens’ approach, suggesting that while the team typically allows free agents to test the market, Madubuike’s value could prompt them to consider using the franchise tag or offering a long-term deal to secure his services.
Amidst salary cap considerations, the Ravens aim to maintain the core of their veteran players while also exploring opportunities to enhance their roster. Whether they prioritize defensive stability or seek to strengthen their offensive arsenal, Baltimore is poised to remain a formidable contender in the upcoming NFL season.
