ESPN hails Ravens as trade deadline winners despite fan skepticism

The trade market was incredibly active ahead of this year’s trade deadline. That was especially true on Tuesday, when teams made a frenzy of moves to bolster their teams in hopes of clinching playoff spots in 2025. For the Baltimore Ravens, they did not make any trades on Tuesday, but it was a successful deadline nonetheless.

Despite the quiet Tuesday, Baltimore General Manager Eric DeCosta was busy this season. He made three trades, all of which focused on bettering a defense that had an abysmal start.

DeCosta kicked things off in early October by trading outside linebacker Odafe Oweh and a 2027 seventh-round pick for Los Angeles Chargers safety Alohi Gilman and a 2026 fifth-round pick.
