Baltimore Ravens Quiet at Trade Deadline, Prioritize Current Roster

The Baltimore Ravens had a quiet trade deadline in 2023, unlike previous years where they made blockbuster moves. Their division rivals, the Washington Commanders, made significant trades to rebuild their team, but the Ravens chose to stick with their current roster.

General manager Eric DeCosta explored some potential deals, such as pursuing Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, but ultimately didn't find the right fit. The Ravens prioritized their future draft capital and value their current players, with head coach John Harbaugh expressing confidence in their roster.

Despite concerns in the secondary and pass rush, the Ravens believe they have everything they need to succeed. The team's salary cap struggles and the need to retain key players also limited their options for trade acquisitions. The Ravens are banking on their existing roster to continue improving and achieving success.
