Technically speaking, Eric DeCosta has succeeded Ozzie Newsome as the General Manager of the Baltimore Ravens. DeCosta was Newsome’s assistant for many years leading up to the change, however, and Newsome remains a part of the organization as a fixture of the front office, though he doesn’t have an official title for now.
While DeCosta will have the final call on decisions, however, from the sounds of it, those in the know don’t particularly expect much to change, because Newsome and DeCosta have always collaborated, and continue to collaborate, such that the chain of command isn’t necessarily a major factor in how decisions get made.
