For the Baltimore Ravens, a storyline this offseason has been a number of reunions on the defensive side of the ball.
They added former inside linebacker and defensive coach Zach Orr as the team’s new linebackers coach. Orr is joining the staff of new defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald, who the Ravens hired to replace Don “Wink” Martindale. MacDonald spent seven years in Baltimore before leaving in 2021 for a one-year stint at the college level.
Then, in late March, the Ravens signed defensive tackle Michael Pierce to a three-year contract in free agency. Pierce played four seasons for the Ravens from 2016-2020 before signing with the Minnesota Vikings two years ago.
