John Simpson returns to Ravens, tasked with reducing penalties
Summary

John Simpson rejoins the Baltimore Ravens after stints with the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets. Simpson started 19 games in 2023, including playoffs, and is seen as a key addition to a restructured offensive line. While his physicality aligns with the Ravens' style, concerns remain regarding his tendency for self-inflicted penalties that can disrupt the offense. Addressing these issues is essential for maintaining offensive momentum and supporting the team’s strategy, especially with playmakers like Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.
