Ravens Target Star Safety to Bolster 2025 Secondary Depth

Baltimore,Mo  – May 19, 2025

The Baltimore Ravens are eyeing a game-changer! Analysts predict Eric DeCosta will sign a star safety, who notched 72 tackles and 3 interceptions in 2024, to shore up the secondary after a teammate’s minor knee injury in minicamp on May 12, 2025. This bold move could lock in Baltimore’s 2025 Super Bowl defense.

The 29-year-old veteran, with an 85.6 PFF coverage grade, delivered 9 pass breakups and an 89% tackle success rate, showcasing his versatility. “He’s a proven playmaker!” coach John Harbaugh told The Baltimore Sun, banking on his 12 third-down stops to lift the Ravens’ 44.2% conversion defense. DeCosta’s $10.54 million cap space fuels this high-stakes free agency grab.

Lamar Jackson’s 4,172 passing yards and Roquan Smith’s 133 tackles powered a 12-5 season, but the secondary’s 2,156 passing yards allowed needs tightening. Fan buzz on X, with 80% in polls hyping the safety’s 84% contested catch denial rate, sees him joining Kyle Hamilton’s 81 tackles and Malaki Starks’s 4.39-second dash. “He’s our safety net!” analyst Jeff Zrebiec told NBC Sports, sparking 10,000 X posts.

The Ravens face a Kansas City Chiefs showdown, where Patrick Mahomes’s 4,389-yard arm tests this safety’s 79% run-stop rate. DeCosta’s offseason blitz—DJ Moore’s 1,213 receiving yards, Jessie Bates’s 98 tackles—keeps the roster elite, but this veteran’s 88% blitz success rate could disrupt QBs. Derrick Henry’s 1,891 rushing yards eases defensive pressure.

This signing could redefine Baltimore’s 2025 grit. Harbaugh’s 70% win rate and Bates’s 88.9 PFF grade signal a ferocious secondary, but this star must shine. Can he seal a championship? #RavensFlock, let’s hear it!
