Where do the Ravens rank in spending at each key position entering training camp?
Where are the Ravens spending their money this season? Here's a look at how Baltimore's salary cap breaks down by position entering training camp After a five-week break, the Baltimore Ravens have returned to the Under Armour Performance Center to kick off an urgent and critical 2025 training camp. This is a loaded roster, and Todd Monken's group can stake a claim to having the most explosive offensive unit in the NFL with star power at every position. Baltimore wasn't overly active during the first few days of NFL free agency. Still, the team added a future Hall of Fame wide receiver to the passing game and a versatile linebacker to the special teams, and Jaire Alexander at cornerback on the final day of minicamp. The Ravens retained Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard, and Tylan Wallace, while the restructuring of Marlon Humphrey created $13 million in salary cap space. Even with the inactivity and loss of five key contributors or starters, the team remains amid a Super Bowl window and has restocked the roster with 11 draft picks in April. The Ravens landed Malaki Starks in the first round and secured Mike Green after he slipped to Round 2. Baltimore currently has about $15,006,137 in cap space per Over The Cap, and they're spending about $133,490,752 on offense and $131,175,554 on defense.
