It's an important offseason for the Baltimore Ravens. After adding new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, coach John Harbaugh and general manager Eric DeCosta think they have the coaching tools to improve the club.

Over the next several weeks a big part of adding players will be free agency, and the Ravens have some huge decisions to make with regard to those players who find themselves without a contract.

CBS Sports projected every team's most significant needs and salary cap space while listing every free agent on the roster.

There are no surprises for the Ravens:

Baltimore Ravens

Unrestricted free agents: Marcus Peters (CB), Justin Houston (EDGE), Kyle Fuller (CB), Lamar Jackson (QB), Ja'Wuan James (LT), Sammy Watkins (WR), Trayvon Mullen (CB), Jason Pierre-Paul (EDGE), Steven Means (EDGE), Josh Oliver (TE), Vince Biegel (LB), Kenyan Drake (RB), Demarcus Robinson (WR), Kevon Seymour (CB), Justice Hill (RB), Ben Powers (LG)

Projected cap space: $24,978,480
Team needs: WR, CB, G

The Ravens will have to get the Lamar Jackson contract situation figured out, but will have to get a wide receiver -- or two -- to keep the franchise quarterback satisfied. Baltimore also needs help at cornerback if the Ravens choose not to bring Peters back. 

There's no question that the Lamar Jackson situation is priority No. 1 for the franchise.  But even if the organization decides to tag and trade Jackson, they still need help at receiver for whoever is under center. Whether that's a free-agent veteran or a rookie through the draft.

There are scenarios out there that bring cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Ravens as well as Cardinals' wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Both would make great additions and Baltimore should have the cap space to make a couple of moves on that level.
