5 players who may be playing their final down with the Baltimore Ravens during the 2025 season

Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Kyle Crabbs | Last updated Jun 24, 2025 12:57 PM ET

The Baltimore Ravens are entering into a high-stakes season in 2025.

The nucleus of the Ravens' roster is hopeful that this is the year they break the class ceiling late in the year after several close calls. Baltimore rightly feels like they're close. The urgency will come from the uncertainty of the future — as it will be the last chance for some to wear a Ravens uniform in 2025. Who are the prominent starters who may be entering into their final year with Baltimore this season?

Here are five contract year players who may play their last down with the team this season.

Odafe Oweh, EDGE Defender

Oweh is entering into a contract season after breaking out in a big way last season. Oweh has stacked on some major weight this offseason in hopes of an even better year this year. Baltimore has maintained a steady diet of edge rushers in the draft over the years, leaving them with plenty of options to serve as successors to Oweh if he plays himself out of Baltimore's price range for an extension.

If a deal here gets done, one would expect that Oweh, in the prime of his career, would have to take a hometown discount.

Daniel Faalele, Guard

The Ravens have been persistent about their stability up front — but that has come in the form of Ronnie Stanley, Tyler Linderbaum, and then drafting Roger Rosengarten in the second-round of the 2024 NFL Draft to play the pillar positions at tackle and center. They let Kevin Zeitler walk in 2024 and then let Patrick Mekari walk this offseason.

Faalele could be next, especially after the Ravens drafted Emery Jones Jr. with an eye towards playing at guard.

Travis Jones, Defensive Tackle

Jones' value as an interior force offers little question that he'd be a great long-term asset. The question lies in where the Ravens choose to invest their finances. Jones will likely command a pretty penny in a contract year and Baltimore is already paying Nnamdi Madubuike handsomely. Madubuike will receive at least $22 million in compensation over each of the next three seasons.

Where does that leave Jones on Baltimore's pecking order? On the open market, Jones would likely command north of $20 million a year for himself as he enters into the prime of his career. It's a tough numbers game to solve.

Kyle Van Noy, EDGE Defender

Van Noy has been a brilliant addition for Baltimore over the past two seasons and is aging like fine wine. He's the kind of player that Baltimore should not have much issue finding the financial room to extend him if they wanted to — his age will work against him in negotiations. Van Noy is 34 years old this season, so the question will instead be whether or not his play declines as he progresses into the later chapters of his career.

If he does, the Ravens may opt to lean into their youth on the edge as long-term answers instead of paying a presumably healthy chunk to keep Van Noy in town beyond 2025.

Mark Andrews, Tight End

Andrews is a handsomely compensated tight end and obviously still playing productive football. His end of season blunders in the playoffs took the wind out of his sails, especially foiled against a younger talent in the room in Isaiah Likely. Baltimore could potentially secure Andrews on a new deal but it feels like a long shot that both Andrews and Likely will get new deals.

Which does Baltimore choose?
