The NFL trading deadling is Tuesday, and now Eric DeCosta knows he can be a buyer. This season is back from the brink and he can be aggressive in trying to add an impact player. Wouldn't have made sense without these back-to-back wins

Zach Orr's maligned defense has held three straight opponents under 20 points, with an average of 13. If Lamar Jackson's healthy, that's a winning formula almost all the time

Ravens fans at Hard Rock Stadium apparently made things difficult at times for the Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa on the 4th and 1 false start in the first quarter: "With the Ravens fans, it maybe got a little muffled with my cadence and the crowd noise. We talked about it on the

Personal news: Today is my last day working for USA TODAY Sports. Thankfully, this is by my choice. After 25-plus years with the company, there are waaay too many people to thank individually, but I am grateful to all. Next move: TBD -- but it doesn't involve a beach chair.

The NFL believes the violation was the result of negligence, not an attempt to gain a competitive advantage. If the investigation had determined the violation was intentional or competitive in nature, the discipline would have been more significant, including the potential loss

The #Ravens get a $100,000 fine for their injury report shenanigans, but no draft pick punishment, and no fine directly for Harbaugh

The #Ravens say they “clearly made an error regarding player reporting” with the Lamar Jackson injury report snafu, will not appeal the $100k fine

The #Ravens announce they have traded CB Jaire Alexander to the #Eagles. Ravens trade Alexander and a 2027 7th and get back a 2026 6th round pick

Alexander had played just two games for the #Ravens and didn’t really have a path to the field. Never quite materialized the way the Ravens envisioned

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey was fined $46,371 for a "use of the helmet" violation against the Chicago Bears. The hit that he was fined for was the one on Zaccheaus that went unflagged and the Ravens initially challenged for an interception.

Alexander gets an opportunity to play and Ravens create roughly $2 million of cap space by moving on, and they get another 6th round pick in the 2026 Draft. They now have eight picks for the '26 Draft in hand and they could get as many as three comp picks.

The #Ravens had frequently praised how Jaire Alexander handled himself throughout his time in Baltimore, which didn’t involve much playing. Chuck Pagano says as much again today
