The art of constructing a roster with Super Bowl aspirations is not for the faint of heart.
There are the players and coaches who left your roster from the season before. The draft, and all that goes into that. The targeting and wooing of undrafted free agents once the draft concludes. Free agency. Players retiring. Injuries, both of the expected and unexpected variety. Starting a season and discovering you have a gaping hole you didn’t quite expect.
And so on and so on and so on…
What your team looks like today is not what your team will look like on opening day, and very few teams massage the entirety of their options in player acquisition like the Ravens.
