Four Downs

Welcome back to our offseason series of Four Downs. We'll be reviewing each division one-by-one, looking at each team's biggest hole going into free agency as well as the most important players who may be on the market.

Baltimore Ravens

Biggest Need: Linebacker

The Ravens have a walloping five free agents in the linebacker corps: Pernell McPhee, Jihad Ward, Josh Bynes, Patrick Onwuasor, and Matt Judon. Of their linebackers under contract for next season, only Jaylon Ferguson and Tyus Bowser played more than 300 snaps. Bynes in particular solidified a unit that had some problems in the run game against Cleveland and Kansas City early last season.
