Baltimore Ravens: Embracing Change in the 2023 Offseason

After several months of discussions, the Ravens were finally able to sign their franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson to a 5-year deal worth 260 million dollars. This locks him up as the Ravens' starter for quite some time as they hope to catch up with their AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals. 

Franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson has expressed enthusiasm for the new offense that Todd Monken is bringing to Baltimore. Jackson's participation in the first day of OTAs indicates his commitment to mastering Monken's system. The team's first open OTA practice has also provided insights into the team's progress. While specific standout players weren't mentioned, the overall performance suggests a promising start to the offseason.

A key strength for the Ravens in 2023 is whether their offense or defense will be stronger. The Ravens went quickly to work this off-season to provide Lamar Jackson with some weapons in the receiving back to help counter their dangerous running attack. They signed free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after he took a year off to recover from ACL surgery. They also drafted Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers in the first round, to help form what could be a dangerous 1-2 punch.  The possibility of landing DeAndre Hopkins could also significantly boost the offense.

The Baltimore Ravens are embracing change in the 2023 offseason, with a new offensive system and potential roster changes. These developments set the stage for an exciting 2023 season.
