The Baltimore Ravens face yet another significant loss to their AFC North rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, as linebacker Malik Harrison has signed a two-year, $10 million contract with Pittsburgh. Just last year, the Steelers had acquired Patrick Queen, a former Ravens Pro Bowl linebacker, signaling a trend of Baltimore players heading to Pittsburgh.

Harrison, who recently celebrated his 27th birthday, leaves behind a five-season tenure with the Ravens, having recorded 174 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and two sacks across 76 games. His standout performance came in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers, where he achieved a career-high 13 tackles while stepping in for the All-Pro Roquan Smith.

With Harrison's departure, the Ravens are left with only two inside linebackers under contract: Roquan Smith and Trenton Simpson. The team now faces the challenge of restructuring and strengthening their defense as they prepare for the next season without one of their key players.
