New Ravens GM Eric DeCosta Tasked With Retaining Or Reloading Defense

The Baltimore Ravens had one of the top defensive units in all of the NFL last season. But many of their key pieces are currently scheduled to be free agents, and new general manager Eric DeCosta has some tough decisions ahead for himself to determine how he wants to assemble their defense for 2019, and that includes determining which players they want to keep from that group.

The top name in that class is inside linebacker C.J. Mosley, who has been a Pro Bowler nearly ever year since he was drafted. The Ravens declined to offer him a long-term extension last offseason on his fifth-year option.
