Considering the circumstances last offseason, the risks that the Baltimore Ravens front office took were completely logical. It made perfect sense to rally around the aging warhorses for one last attempt at a championship run before they rode off into the sunset. While a lack of depth at several crucial positions and reliance on older players has backfired during the team’s four game losing streak, the Ravens are still in contention for the AFC North division.
However, whether the Ravens win the Super Bowl or fail to win another game this season, the roster will need to be purged of veteran contracts this offseason in order to adequately reload the roster for future seasons.
