After making a big splash during the first week of free agency, General Manager Eric DeCosta doesn't anticipate another blockbuster Ravens move - at least this weekend.
"I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend with my wife, who probably hasn't seen me since the season ended in a lot of ways," DeCosta said. "We've always been a draft-focused team. We have 11 picks. We've got a lot of work to do.
"It doesn't mean we're not going to be looking at some players over the next couple of weeks. We will be. We'll probably have some players visit. We'll look at some guys. Are we going to go out and break the bank? Probably not. I think we've broken the bank in some ways over the last week."
Acquiring pass rusher Trey Hendrickson and almost acquiring Maxx Crosby before the trade for him fell through have made this an atypical offseason for Baltimore.
Often, the Ravens ease into free agency. This year, they've sprinted out of the blocks.
They've acquired not only Hendrickson but guard John Simpson, safety Jaylinn Hawkins, blocking tight end Durham Smythe, and guard/center Jovaughn Gwyn. They've re-signed cornerback Chidobe Awuzie and backup quarterback Tyler Huntley.
DeCosta feels the Ravens have already positioned themselves well heading into next month's draft.
"I think we've filed some holes in the depth chart," DeCosta said. "We've added a lot of talent, which should make us more strategic and more focused in the draft.
"I think this team's going to look different come September. We're excited about it."
