One thing to love about each of the Ravens' free agent signings

The Ravens saw 13 players depart in free agency, and GM Eric DeCosta quickly responded by adding six outside free agents, including a former AFC North rival looking to cash in. Thanks to elite use of the compensatory picks system and comparable drafting, Baltimore will be able to maintain a talented roster. The biggest name is sack master, Trey Hendrickson, but John Simpson returns at one of the offensive guard spots on a three-year, $30 million deal, and Jaylinn Hawkins shores up the third safety spot after agreeing to a free agent deal.

The Ravens made two notable moves in free agency as they look to contend in a loaded AFC. From key signings to under-the-radar additions, we're examining one thing to love about each free agent signing.

Trey Hendrickson, OLB

His PFF pass-rush grade of 90.0 ranked 6th among edge defenders.

Jaylinn Hawkins, S

His PFF coverage grade of 79.0 ranked 8th among 98 safeties. His run-defense grade of 87.1 ranked 2nd at the position. Hawkins allowed a 73.7 passer rating when targeted by opposing quarterbacks.

John Simpson, OL

Simpson started every game for the Jets the last two seasons, but returns to a Ravens team with a new head coach and questions at both guard spots. He played over 1,000 snaps in 2025.

Durham Smythe, TE

He totaled 13 receptions over the last two seasons while serving primarily as a blocking tight end.

Jovaughn Gwyn, OL

Gwyn has spent two seasons on the Falcons' practice squad and reunites with former Atlanta offensive line coach and new Ravens run game coordinator Dwayne Ledford.

Danny Pinter, C

He allowed 5 total pressures in pass protection. In 2024, Pinter appeared in 14 games and started at center in Weeks 13 and 15, earning a career-high 82.9 Pro Football Focus overall grade as a starter in the Colts' Week 13 win over the New England Patriots.
