The Baltimore Ravens are ready for the new 2022-2023 NFL season with the best possible roster, including their star kicker Justin Tucker. Last season was going to be good for the Ravens if it weren’t for Jackson’s injury, but nothing is easy in the league.

As a young team the Ravens have two super bowls but they should have more especially with a head coach like John Harbaugh, but things could be different this year as the their new defensive players are ready to help.

So far the Ravens are the third team in the positional spending ranking by Spotrac, this means that they are making a big effort to keep key players that will be needed during the upcoming season.
