The Baltimore Ravens were one of the best teams in the NFL during the regular season.
Their performance earned them a first-round bye in the playoffs, setting up a matchup with the Houston Texans this weekend.
While the Ravens have a talented roster that has gotten them to this point, their championship window could narrow if they don’t win the Super Bowl this season.
Peter Schrager pointed this out in a recent segment of “Good Morning Football,” saying, “Baltimore’s got 20 unrestricted free agents on this roster.”
He also said, “This might be the last time this group is together.”
“The @Ravens can’t take the Texans for granted… Baltimore’s got 20 unrestricted free agents on this roster. This might be the last time that this group is together. They can’t squander this opportunity.”

The Ravens signed Lamar Jackson to a contract extension during the offseason, so he is locked into this roster.
However, some of his teammates are not, meaning this team will likely look a lot different in 2024.
They might have a portion of their core that sticks around, but some key role players could move on.
It is tough enough to break through in the AFC in the first place, so the Ravens should do their best to capitalize on this opportunity.
A lack of winning games in the playoffs is one of the most significant negatives towards Jackson throughout his career.
While the Ravens have played well, the Texans are a young, hungry roster led by a rookie quarterback.
They’re playing with house money, which could allow them to be looser in this playoff game, knowing they weren’t expected to be there.
