You can’t win the Super Bowl until next season, but what transpires this offseason matters greatly to the Ravens.
After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2021, the Ravens have a new coaching staff in command. With a long list of potential free agents, Baltimore needs to strengthen its roster with some of the players it is scouting at this week’s NFL Combine.
Head Coach Jesse Minter thinks players, coaches, and the organization can use the disappointment of the 2025 season as motivation to embrace change.
“Anytime change happens, there’s a reason that change was decided to be made,” Minter said. “You can look at the record, you can look at not making the playoffs, you can look at certain things and at least use that early on for the players to embrace why it’s different.
“That window’s only open for so long, so you need to strike that while it’s open. Build great relationships. Begin for them to understand why you’re doing something a little bit different. As you have success, then hopefully that grows and grows over time.”
