The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for their 2025 offseason workout program, set to begin with a report date on April 21. The program spans nine weeks and is divided into three phases. Phase One focuses on meetings and conditioning, followed by on-field workouts in Phase Two. Finally, Phase Three includes organized team practice activities (OTAs) with allowed drills but no live contact. Watch for key events such as the mandatory minicamp from June 17-19 and the series of OTAs planned for May and June.

One highlight is the continued development of quarterback Lamar Jackson under offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who is entering his third season with the Ravens. Last season, Jackson achieved notable career highs in passing touchdowns and yards. Monken’s focus will be on elevating Jackson's game further as he approaches his prime. Additionally, the presence of star running back Derrick Henry, who is already training in Baltimore, adds excitement for fans as the Ravens look to build on their successful rush attack from last season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up for joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens, further building on their competitive relationship. After a previous encounter highlighted by Lamar Jackson’s five-touchdown performance and a devastating injury to Chris Godwin, the upcoming preseason games will allow the Bucs to test their revamped defense against one of the NFL's most potent offenses. These practices not only promise a crucial evaluation for the Bucs' defense but also mark a significant step in Godwin's return after he re-signed with the team this offseason.

The Baltimore Ravens are set to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for two days of joint practices in late August, prior to a preseason matchup. The Ravens previously faced the Buccaneers in Week 7, where they secured a 41-31 victory despite allowing over 430 yards to Tampa Bay's offense led by Baker Mayfield. Lamar Jackson showcased his talents during that game, throwing for five touchdowns and adding significant rushing yards. The exact dates for the joint sessions will be announced once the league finalizes the preseason schedule.

The Miami Dolphins are committed to keeping star receiver Tyreek Hill amidst recent trade speculation. Coach Mike McDaniel stated they are looking forward with Hill on their roster, emphasizing his importance to the team.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills secured cornerback Christian Benford with a lucrative four-year, $76 million contract extension, solidifying their defense for years to come. In other news, the NFL mourns the loss of former New England Patriots safety Matt Stevens, who passed away at age 51. The league also sees some player movements, with former Patriots kicker Joey Slye signing with the Tennessee Titans for one year and the New Orleans Saints adding Brandin Cooks on a two-year deal.
