Despite finishing with the best record in the NFL at 13-4 last season, the Baltimore Ravens fell short in the playoffs by losing to the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
They made a bold move by signing free-agent running back Derrick Henry, and while they had the top scoring defense in the league in 2023, they could use a little help in the secondary.
Per Cameron Wolfe, they are re-signing Arthur Maulet to a two-year contract in order to keep him in the fold.

The Ravens signed Maulet late in training camp last summer, and while his numbers weren’t very impressive, he did contribute to their success on defense.
He will continue to provide depth for a Baltimore team that wins with a hard-hitting defense, just as it did in the days when the team won two Super Bowl championships.
Perhaps not a ton of people were picking Baltimore to win it all when last season started, but as the schedule wore on, they continued to win games consistently, and they were eventually considered a powerhouse.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson, armed with a massive new contract, had his best season in years, which earned him his second regular-season MVP award, and he had a new weapon in rookie stud wide receiver Zay Flowers.
Baltimore will have to deal with an even deeper AFC next season if they are to end up playing for their third world championship since becoming the Ravens in the 1996 campaign.
