Ravens Predicted to Pursue Raiders Safety in Free Agency
With the start of free agency just days away, pundits continue to play matchmaker.
The Athletic’s Mike Jones made one free-agent target prediction for every team. He believes the Ravens will pursue Raiders safety Tre’von Moehrig.
“The Ravens have decisions to make with a number of their own players, including left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who is set to hit free agency,” Jones wrote. “But as far as outside free agents go, they need help in their secondary, where a lack of speed and impact plays hampered their efforts. Moehrig would fill a big need at free safety after racking up 104 tackles, 10 pass breakups and two interceptions for the Raiders last season.”
It’s widely believed the Ravens will add a safety to allow All-Pro Kyle Hamilton to return to his “Swiss Army Knife” role after playing the second half of last season as more of a traditional safety.
A number of mock drafts have the Ravens selecting a safety in the first round. As far as free agency, Moehrig and Jevon Holland are regarded as the top options.
Moehrig, a 2021 second-round pick who has started 64 games over four seasons with the Raiders, is ranked as the 11th-best free agent overall by ESPN’s Matt Bowen.
“An ascending player, Moehrig notched five interceptions and 12 pass breakups over the past two seasons,” Bowen wrote. “He had five tackles for loss in 2024. He has the range to play from depth, and he is a tone-setter on contact when he spins down into the front.”
Moehrig is ranked 20th overall by NFL Network’s Gregg Rosenthal, who wrote: “I send a rough draft of my list to some of the smartest people I know in the business to ask for their outliers. More than one said Moehrig could not be placed high enough.”
