We break down what Hendrickson brings to the Ravens pass rush and how he fits into the defense moving forward. We also discuss Baltimore officially signing John Simpson, Jaylinn Hawkins, and Durham Smythe, and how each addition helps fill out the roster. Smythe steps into the blocking tight end role after the departures of Charlie Kolar and Pat Ricard, Hawkins adds versatility to the safety room, and Simpson strengthens the offensive line. The Ravens also brought in interior lineman Jovaughn Gwyn, who previously worked with new Ravens offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford in Atlanta. Eric DeCosta expressed confidence that Ledford can develop the next wave of Baltimore's offensive line. We also talk about Keaton Mitchell signing with the Chargers, the Ravens releasing Cooper Rush, and where Baltimore currently stands with the salary cap as the offseason continues.

In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down another chaotic day for the Baltimore Ravens as the offseason continues to take unexpected turns.

We also recap the growing list of Ravens departures in free agency, including several key contributors who have moved on to other teams, and what these losses mean for the roster moving forward.

The Ravens lost a lot of players in free agency — but the offseason is far from over. In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the departures of Tyler Linderbaum, Isaiah Likely, and several other Ravens who signed with new teams. We also discuss Baltimore's reported contract offer to Linderbaum (4 years, $88M) and why the Ravens may have made the right decision not to push past $22M per year for a center. We also react to Maxx Crosby arriving in Baltimore and his message about bringing a championship to the city. The roster may look very different right now, but the real question is what this team will look like when the season begins in September? Learn more about your ad choices.
