NFL teams are always in the market for more pass rushers and the Baltimore Ravens are no different. With Odafe Oweh stirring up speculation with cryptic social media posts, the timing of a potential move couldn’t be better.
No one can say for certain what Oweh was getting at with his peace sign tweet and the even more cryptic "God’s plan always wins" follow-up, but it sure didn’t sound like a guy who’s locked in and at peace with his future in Baltimore.

Now, whether Oweh stays or goes, ESPN’s Ben Solak just floated a trade that could give the Ravens an absolute steal of a pass rusher who could nip any Oweh uncertainty in the bud: Harold Landry. The Tennessee Titans linebacker is reportedly available, and Solak believes the Ravens should send it, forking over a fourth-round pick in exchange for a proven quarterback assailant who still has plenty of gas left in the tank.
If Baltimore can add a guy who's racked up 50.5 sacks in six seasons for a mid-round pick, they should already be on the phone.
Harold Landry would be a massive boost to the Ravens’ pass rush
Solak lays out the fit for Baltimore perfectly:
"Landry would make a great Raven. Baltimore wants to have a rotation at that position: The Ravens gave at least 500 -- but no more than 700 -- snaps to three players on the edge last season. Two of those three players (Odafe Oweh, Kyle Van Noy) are signed only through 2025. Landry has enough coverage ability to work in the system and can provide an immediate pass-rush impact at a position the Ravens have consistently missed on draft picks and need quick help."
Landry might not be a bona fide superstar, but he is exactly what the Ravens need—a consistent edge presence who can rotate in and bring relentless pressure without needing to play every snap.
Per Next Gen Stats, Landry’s get-off time last season was 0.72 seconds, ranking third in the NFL behind only Nick Bosa and Myles Garrett. That’s elite. Plugging that kind of speed into Baltimore’s by-association rushing attack could be electric.
The only real sticking point here is Landry’s contract. He’s set to make $17.5 million in both 2025 and 2026, which is a pretty hefty price tag. But all of the money isn't guaranteed. That means Baltimore could easily restructure his deal, lowering the cap hit and giving him a more team-friendly contract.
If the Titans agree to eat some of his salary before trading him, the price could go up to a conditional third-round pick or something, but if not, a fourth-rounder is more than reasonable for a player of Landry’s caliber.
Bottom line? This trade makes loads of sense. Whether Oweh’s posts mean something or nothing, Baltimore can’t afford to pass up an opportunity to add a high-end pass rusher for relative pennies on the dollar. The need to add a premier edge rusher becomes more pressing if the Oweh situation goes downhill fast, regardless, adding a player of Landry's caliber for a relatively cheap cost is a no-brainer.
