There was a report over the weekend the Ravens made Don Martindale the highest paid defensive coordinator in the NFL.
Perhaps that’s just a prelude of even bigger things to come.
Martindale has done an exceptional job leading a defense that has been short of first-round picks in recent years.
The Ravens are determined to get Martindale some playmakers this offseason.
