Ravens Can Find Solid Pass Rusher in Free Agent Market

Baltimore looking to increase sacks total from last season.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens are looking to boost the pass rush this offseason after finishing in the bottom third of the league for sacks last year.

There are several free agents the team could target to boost their defense.

Here's a look at some of those options: 

Von Miller

Miller is a free agent for the first time in his career. He finished with 31 tackles and five sacks in eight games during the regular season for Los Angeles after being traded from the Broncos. He also had four sacks in four playoff games. However, Miller turns 33 on March 26. 

Jadeveon Clowney

The Ravens have tried to acquire Clowney in the past but the deal never came to fruition. He finished with 9 sacks, 19 QB hits, and 11 tackles for loss in 14 games for the Browns last season. Clowney, however, has struggled with injuries over his career and the Ravens don't need another player watching from the sidelines. 

Derek Barnett

Barnett, a former first-round pick, managed just two sacks in 15 games for the Eagles last season. However, he had 6.5 sacks in 2019 and 5.5 in 2020. Barnett turns 26 in June and might be more within the Ravens price range. 

Randy Gregory

Gregory has a troubled past and he's been suspended four times by the NFL. However, he appears to have gotten back on track and had six sacks in 12 games last season. Gregory could be a solid addition to the Ravens.
