Lamar Jackson's continued health and performance at an MVP level remain critical for the Baltimore Ravens' success as they navigate roster changes. General manager Eric DeCosta expressed optimism regarding the team's composition for the next season, following their second consecutive AFC North title and a playoff exit. Unlike last year, when the Ravens faced numerous replacements on the offensive line and other key positions, they anticipate fielding a similar squad in 2023.

DeCosta addressed potential roster decisions, particularly focusing on free agents like Patrick Ricard, Nelson Agholor, and Tylan Wallace. The Ravens' 2022 draft class has matured, with first-round picks Kyle Hamilton and Tyler Linderbaum emerging as key contributors. However, uncertainty looms regarding the future of players with expiring contracts, including Derrick Henry and Mark Andrews, which could complicate roster management after the upcoming season.
