Ravens Pursue Market-Setting Deal to Keep Tyler Linderbaum

Ravens chart a draft-focused path as NFL Scouting Combine opens

Vega Ioane is a popular guard target for No. 14, the defense is looking to replenish a deeper edge/DL class after 2025 sacks dropped, and Buffalo... just kidding—the Ravens will also monitor potential Lamar Jackson extensions and updates from GM Eric DeCosta and coach Jesse Minter while evaluating receivers such as Jordyn Tyson as mock drafts link prospects to Baltimore.

Likely’s Free-Agency Clock Ticks as Ravens Balance Loyalty with Business

After four years with the Ravens, Isaiah Likely is about to test free agency, expressing strong affection for Baltimore but acknowledging that business decisions will shape his next move. Baltimore has about $22 million in cap space, with decisions looming on Lamar Jackson’s restructure, Mark Andrews’ extension, and contracts for Zay Flowers and Tyler Linderbaum, which could affect whether Likely returns. He battled a foot injury this season but still posted 27 receptions, 307 yards, and 1 TD, and he has career totals of 1,568 yards and 15 TDs on 135 catches since 2022, signaling his potential to contribute for a team that can maximize a QB. His future could be back in Baltimore or elsewhere with a different scheme or coach.

Bears Weigh DJ Moore Trade as Doyle Heads to Ravens

With Declan Doyle leaving Chicago to join Baltimore, the Bears are weighing a DJ Moore trade in the 2026 offseason to gain cap relief and give rookies Burden, Odunze, and Loveland room to grow. Baltimore, which has roughly $22.6 million in cap space, could use a true WR1 to pair with Lamar Jackson, while Moore’s 2025 yardage dipped to 682 after a 1,364-season in 2023. A Moore deal would open about $24.5 million in cap room for Chicago after June 1 and could benefit both teams if Moore can regain elite form with Doyle in Baltimore.
