Baltimore Ravens Explore Major Defensive Trades Ahead NFL Deadline

The Baltimore Ravens, struggling with a 2-5 start, are actively exploring trades to bolster their defense ahead of the November 4 NFL trade deadline. Veteran tight end Mark Andrews, in the final year of his contract, could be traded to acquire draft picks or defensive starters, with the Los Angeles Rams emerging as potential suitors. Defensive help is a priority, especially on the interior line, where injuries to Nnamdi Madubuike have weakened the pass rush; possible targets include Arizona Cardinals' Calais Campbell, New York Giants' Dexter Lawrence, and Miami Dolphins' edge rusher Jaelan Phillips. Campbell, a former Raven, offers a short-term solution without heavy investment, while Lawrence brings a high level of disruption as a Pro Bowl interior lineman. Phillips, leading the Dolphins in quarterback pressures, could provide immediate edge-rushing support with manageable financial risk. These moves reflect the Ravens' urgent need to enhance their defense to revive their playoff hopes and contend in the AFC North.
