The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for the critical moments of the 2025 NFL offseason, particularly focusing on financial adjustments and potential roster decisions. Key dates are approaching, with March 16 marking the deadline to exercise options on quarterback Lamar Jackson and defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike. The Ravens face significant financial implications; the decision to restructure Jackson's contract could save the team $20 million in cap space, reducing his base salary from $42.75 million to $20.25 million. Similarly, restructuring Madubuike's contract could create an additional $15 million in cap relief.

As they navigate these crucial financial decisions, GM Eric DeCosta must weigh the benefits of retaining star players against the need to create additional cap space for future acquisitions. The Ravens also have roster bonuses due for key players, including tight end Mark Andrews and cornerback Marlon Humphrey, that could impact their overall financial strategy moving forward. With these looming decisions, the Ravens aim to position themselves for a successful run in the upcoming season.
