The Baltimore Ravens have built a reputation for finding value in free agency, regularly signing under-the-radar players who go on to play key roles in their system—much like their 2024 off-season acquisition of running back Derrick Henry. While they are unlikely to make extravagant moves this off-season, the team could still make shrewd, strategic signings to reinforce their defence.

Renowned for developing versatile linemen, the Ravens may have their sights set on a rising defensive talent who fits their mould perfectly. According to Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team, one potential signing to watch is Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Chauncey Golston.

“The Baltimore Ravens are unlikely to be big spenders in free agency, but they always manage to sign a few players who go on to play significant roles,” Mosher wrote. “Chauncey Golston is an emerging talent who can play across the defensive line and fit into any defensive scheme.”

Golston became a full-time starter for the Cowboys last season, showing glimpses of his potential as an impact player. While Dallas’ season ended on a disappointing note, moving to a winning organisation like Baltimore could provide the motivation he needs to reach the next level. At 6ft 5in, Golston possesses the height, versatility, and physical traits that align with the Ravens’ preferences in defensive linemen. Though not yet a household name, his ability to play multiple positions along the defensive front makes him an ideal fit for Baltimore’s system.

The Ravens’ defence thrives on depth and rotational flexibility, and signing a player like Golston could add immediate value to a unit that is only a few pieces away from further dominance. His adaptability would offer crucial depth along the defensive line while strengthening a defence already featuring some of the league’s top playmakers.

If Baltimore can secure Golston on a team-friendly deal, he could become yet another underrated free-agent acquisition who flourishes in the Ravens’ defensive system.
