The Baltimore Ravens have to be reeling still after losing in the AFC Championship Game to the eventual champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens went into the 2023 NFL Playoffs as the betting favorites to win Super Bowl LVIII, but came up short at home against the Chiefs.
Baltimore’s offense was the talk of the regular season because of the improvements offensive coordinator Todd Monken made, but their defense was the real strength of the roster.
Defensively, the Ravens led the league in several important metrics and locked down some of the best offenses in the league.
However, the team might need to replenish some depth and talent as they have several free agents ready to hit the market.
Safety Geno Stone was productive in 2023 though he admitted that it’s not a lock that he returns via NFL Network.
“At the end of the day, Baltimore’s always home but business is business,” Stone said. “I just want to be somewhere where I’m appreciated and who wants me. And for me to be a starter or whatever it may be, I just want my value to be there.”

Stone split his rookie season between Baltimore and the Houston Texans in 2020 before returning to the Ravens.
He would go on to lead the NFL in interceptions at the safety position in 2023, making him an under-the-radar signing for teams who could use help in their secondary.
Although Baltimore would surely love to retain him, he could be out of their price range and may need to draft a replacement instead.
