The Baltimore Ravens enter the 2026 season with a reshaped roster and coaching staff as the organization seeks to secure a Super Bowl title. After recording their fewest sacks in 15 years during the 2025 season, the team signed edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million contract and appointed Jesse Minter as the new defensive-minded coach.
