Ravens project 365 million in 2026 spending amid coaching staff changes

The Baltimore Ravens enter the 2026 season with the fourth-highest cash spending total in the NFL. Despite replacing John Harbaugh with Jesse Minter as head coach, the organization remains focused on reaching the Super Bowl. General manager Eric DeCosta has built a roster featuring Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, and Mark Andrews to maintain championship competitiveness. The defense remains the team's primary financial investment, with more than 170 million allocated to players including Roquan Smith, Nnamdi Madubuike, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton, and Trey Hendrickson. Minter assumes control of a veteran unit while Declan Doyle takes over as offensive coordinator. The team intends to prioritize immediate results following this significant financial commitment to the current roster.
