Can Seattle keep it going? Will there be any further separation in the middle of the pack? And will things get even worse for struggling traditional powers like Green Bay? Let’s get to the games.

Yardbarker's best-of NFL positional series continues with linebackers. This does not cover pure pass-rushing threats -- we will get to them -- but rather true off-ball defenders who thrived as traditional inside and outside 'backers.
During what has been an offseason of widespread change and overhaul for the Baltimore Ravens on both the roster and coaching staff, coming off a disappointing 2025 season, one position room that didn't quite experience wholesale changes but added exciting young pieces and now features a new steward at the helm is the wide receiver room.
Every NFL team tries to build a dynasty and win Super Bowls, but only a select few in NFL history have found such consistency. Over the next five years, these are the teams that have the best chance at ultimate success.
The Ravens finally started becoming a less shotgun-dependent offense the last three years under coordinator Todd Monken. Expect things to swing even more in that direction under rookie coordinator Declan Doyle.

Rashod Bateman’s absence from OTAs isn’t cause for alarm just yet, but it does leave the Ravens a bit short on continuity in a position that quietly became more important this summer.
The Ravens have been churning through specialists in recent years, overhauling their kicker and their punter while searching for someone to lock down their kick and punt return duties.

There are ample causes for excitement around the 2026 Ravens, and an offseason that's been so different than almost every before it.
