Malik Harrison signed his one-year deal with the Ravens Wednesday soon after the start of the new league year.
A Ravens third-round pick in 2020, Harrison has become a versatile defender and core special teams player.
The 6-foot-3, 259-pound linebacker can set the edge and play on the inside. He played in 14 games last season, including eight starts, and made 20 tackles. He has made 120 tackles over his four-year career and played in all but six games.
Harrison played 21 percent of the defensive snaps last season. He could have a bigger role in 2024 after the free agency departures of inside linebackers Patrick Queen (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Del'Shawn Phillips (Houston Texans). Outside linebackers Jadeveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noy are also free agents. Second-year inside linebacker Trenton Simpson will also compete for a starting spot next to Roquan Smith.
