OTL: EDC Gets to Work Trying to Salvage 2025 Season

Just when you thought the season couldn’t get any scarier, GM Eric DeCosta starts the reconstruction process. And boy was the onset of that crazy:

Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that the Ravens had signed veteran Safety CJ Gardner-Johnson to their practice squad.

CJGJ has bounced around the league a bit but has put together a nice career. The potential issue (which is also the reason he’s bounced around so much) is his attitude. HC John Harbaugh and company will have to navigate the ups-and-downs of CJGJ:

But in terms of on-the-field impact, I think he’s a great addition, and initially, most Ravens fans were thinking the same as Jeff Zrebiec and Spencer Schultz:

Then, an even bigger head-scratcher happened:

Obviously, there’s a few ways to look at this. First and foremost, thinking only about the Safety position, Baltimore has added two starting-caliber players to the back end. That could mean a number of things:

We’ll root against Ken McKusick this time around. But either way, it’s a major shake-up for a Ravens secondary that’s struggled. What does it mean for Kyle Hamilton? What does it mean for Malaki Starks? What does it mean for the corners?

And then you get to the pass rush side of things.

First and foremost, I disagree with anyone who says losing Odafe Oweh is a big blow to the team’s ability to rush the passer. He had moments, yes, but was a major disappointment in the grand scheme of things.

Oweh had all the athleticism in the world, but couldn’t put it together consistently across seasons. That said, the trade does leave Baltimore with little depth at EDGE, not to mention across its entire D-Line:

As a result of that, most people anticipate a corresponding move to be made soon:

As Adam Schefter initially reported, the Oweh deal freed up roughly $8M in cap space, while the CJGJ signing barely impacted Baltimore’s cap at all. So, assuming EDC is done reshaping the secondary, what’s he going to do up front? I have my two personal favorites:

At the same time, an IDL move may be even more important, at least when it comes to signing big names. Could Dexter Lawrence, Jeffery Simmons, or Quinnen Williams be attainable? If so, it might make sense to pull the trigger there, instead.

If they do, what happens on the EDGE? Stone makes an interesting point here – but is it one EDC and Baltimore fans could trust?

Either way, it seems unlikely that the Ravens give up on the season altogether.

Don’t believe me? Just ask Steelers Safety Juan Thornhill:

I really don’t want anybody to think that the Ravens are done. They aren’t done. I promise you that. I’ve seen them enough, and I have played enough ball to know. They have a lot of guys injured right now and a lot of bad things happening for them, but once they figure it out, I guarantee they are not done. By the time we play them, they will be back to form.

Don’t believe him? Ask Vegas:

It’s not time to give up on the season just yet. Let’s see how things shake out this week before making any rash judgments!
