The Baltimore Ravens are eyeing a significant upgrade to their secondary ahead of the 2025 season and are considering a strategic move to bring back Geno Stone, the Cincinnati Bengals defensive back. Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report outlines that while the Ravens may not be in a position to make major trades due to salary cap constraints, they could clear enough space through contract adjustments to pursue a veteran player who could fill a critical role. Stone, who previously played for the Ravens and led the league in interceptions in 2023, has not made the desired impact with the Bengals. His return could provide the Ravens with much-needed experience in the secondary.

Geno Stone, a former seventh-round pick from Iowa, initially struggled for consistency during the COVID-19 impacted 2020 season but found his footing after rejoining the Ravens in 2021. His standout performance in 2023, where he recorded seven interceptions, made him a sought-after player in free agency, eventually joining the Bengals on a two-year deal. Nonetheless, his statistics with Cincinnati this season - 43 tackles and three picks - might not be sufficient to secure his long-term position with the team. The Ravens are advised to at least gauge Stone's potential availability in the upcoming offseason.
