Yes, if the Ravens couldn’t do it this year, when will they?
QB not yet making the fat part of its deal.
Multiple mercenary vets having strong years.
Team stayed healthy, save for Andrews, and they found a rookie deal star replacement in his absence.
Multiple young players on rookie deals ascending to all-pro performance levels.
That roster plan came together perfectly.
They ended up with homefield advantage against a playoff field that ended up being a lot weaker than expected.
Now, next year they have a few key FAs from the defense that will be expecting big deals. Their star DC is almost certainly getting a HC job, and his best replacement option is taking the same job with the other Harbaugh.
Oh, and their QB has shown that even with a complete and stacked team around him, it isn’t enough (while also continuing to shows signs of physical decline)
It is highly unlikely their path is this “easy” again next year. That’s a problem.
