The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best offenses in NFL history. The team has stars scattered across their starting 11, and there are so many ways they can beat opposing defenses. In 2024, they were the only team to reach over 7,000 total offensive yards with 4,035 through the air and 3,189 on the ground.
Most talented teams like Baltimore tend to endure a taxing free agency period. They’ll lose out on top players, knowing they must spend money elsewhere. It’s a business. This past offseason, though, the Ravens lost minimal talent and are just as dangerous as they were in 2024.
Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report recently ranked every offense in the NFL, and the Ravens are poised to repeat as the league’s best offense. With numerous All-Pros and Pro Bowlers, putting any other team at number one would have been foolish. The team ranked third in NFL history for single-season team offensive yards last season, and they’re bound to set another high mark.
Baltimore has the pieces to set another historic mark
The team’s most considerable loss was offensive guard Patrick Mekari. After six years of playing every position on Baltimore’s offensive line, the 27-year-old earned a big payday with the Jacksonville Jaguars. But with additions elsewhere during free agency and another strong draft class, this team could be even better without him this season.
In Mekari’s place, Andrew Vorhees should step into a prominent role in 2025. While he struggled last year, with a 57.2 overall grade per Pro Football Focus, his potential is sky-high. He’s been earning much praise, including a shoutout from the recently extended Ronnie Stanley. Roger Rosengarten is also ready to take a leap, so the starting line might not miss a beat this season.
If Vorhees or Daniel Faalele falter this season, the Ravens have rookie third-round pick Emery Jones Jr. waiting in the wings. The LSU product had a productive collegiate career, showcasing game-wrecking ability in the running game. He’s also able to provide Mekari-like versatility at tackle and guard.
In free agency, the most notable addition was DeAndre Hopkins. The 32-year-old is approaching his career's end but still has plenty to offer. At 6-foot-1-inch, Hopkins is the bigger-bodied and physical receiver the Ravens have been missing. Alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, Hopkins helps create a more complete wide receiver trio. He also offers experience that can prove crucial to the development of young weapons like Devontez Walker and rookie LaJohntay Wester.
Of course, the dangerous duo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry should torment the league yet again. Jackson is coming off another MVP-worthy season, and Henry had the most efficient season of his career at 30 years old, which earned him a lucrative new contract. With most of the team returning and reinforcements plugged in and ready to go, there’s no reason Baltimore can’t once again amass over 7,000 yards and be the league’s top dog on offense.
