The versatile Marlon Humphrey was an All-Pro for the second time in 2024, while Nate Wiggins had a strong rookie season.
However, starting cornerback Brandon Stephens and veteran Tre'Davious White are pending free agents. Baltimore's depth chart includes Arthur Maulet, Jalyn Armour-Davis, T.J. Tampa, and Christian Matthew, but their roles for next season have not been determined.
The free agency negotiating window opens on Monday, March 10 at 4 p.m. Here's who is available on the market:
Byron Murphy
Coming off his first Pro Bowl season, Murphy had career highs in interceptions (six), tackles (81), and passes defended (14) with the Minnesota Vikings. Capable of playing outside or nickel, the 27-year-old Murphy is in a lucrative position and likely out of Baltimore's price range.
Carlton Davis
An excellent man-to-man defender for the Lions last season, Davis had two interceptions and 56 tackles before a broken jaw ended his 2024 season in Week 15. The 28-year-old spent his first six years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has 11 career picks.
Kristian Fulton
In his first season with the Chargers, the 26-year-old Fulton blossomed in Asante Samuel Jr.'s absence and started a career-high 14 games. A former second-round pick (2020) by the Tennessee Titans, Fulton was Derrick Henry's teammate for four seasons.
D.J. Reed
The 28-year-old veteran started 46 games over the past three seasons with the Jets and was often tested playing opposite Sauce Gardner. Reed had 64 tackles and 11 passed defended in 2024 but didn't have an interception for the first time since 2019.
Nate Hobbs
The 26-year-old Hobbs has been a four-year starter as a physical slot corner with the Las Vegas Raiders. Hitting free agency for the first time, Hobbs had 281 tackles during his four seasons with Las Vegas.
Darius Slay
Slay helped the Philadelphia Eagles win a Super Bowl, but they are reportedly planning to release him in a cost-cutting move. Slay nearly signed with the Ravens in 2023, and at age 34 will likely want to sign with a contender.
Jonathan Jones
The 31-year-old Jones, who can play both outside and the slot, is expected to move on after nine seasons with the New England Patriots. Jones has 11 career interceptions including a career-high four picks in 2022.
Charvarius Ward
The 29-year-old Ward dealt with tragedy in 2024 when his one-year-old daughter passed away in October. Ward was a second-team All-Pro in 2023 and made 54 tackles with seven passes defended in 13 games last season.
Asante Samuel Jr.
Samuel played just four games for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024 before a shoulder injury ended his season. A second-round pick in 2021, Samuel is only 25 years old and had his best season in 2023 (63 tackles, two interceptions, 11 passes defended).
Paulson Adebo
A broken femur ended Adebo's 2024 season after seven games with the New Orleans Saints, but he posted a recent video of himself running on a treadmill. The 25-year-old Adebo may be open to signing a one-year deal to prove he's 100% before retesting free agency.
Jourdan Lewis
Lewis has played 115 games in his eight-year career, all with the Dallas Cowboys. He'll bring experience to whatever secondary he joins, coming off a season in which he had eight passes defended and a career-high 81 tackles.
Stephon Gilmore
Gilmore continues to defy age as a capable starter at 34. He has played for five different teams over the past five seasons but started 15 games for the Vikings in 2024 and helped them make the playoffs.
Rasul Douglas
Douglas gave up some big plays in 2024, but at age 30 he could still be effective as a rotational player or No. 2 corner. He spent the past two seasons with the Bills and has good ball skills with 19 career interceptions.
Mike Hilton
The Ravens are very familiar with Hilton, who has spent his entire career in the AFC North with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2017-20) and Cincinnati Bengals (2021-24). After their defensive issues in 2024, the Bengals are not expected to re-sign the 31-year-old Hilton.
Mike Jackson
The Carolina Panthers struggled for most of last season, but Jackson had a solid campaign and started all 17 games. The 28-year-old Jackson spent three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks before joining Carolina.
Kendall Fuller
One of four brothers from Baltimore who have reached the NFL, Fuller played 11 games for the Miami Dolphins last season but suffered a pair of concussions and a knee injury. At age 30, Fuller will be looking for his next destination. His brother, Kyle, played one game with the Ravens in 2022 before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
