It means that if Washington signs an offer sheet with another team, the Ravens would have a chance to match it. If they don\u2019t, they\u2019d lose Washington for no compensation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"d36d694b4c21c8fbb43179759a97119e\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"lazy-embed lazy-embed--ssr embed-twitter-com lazy-embed--loaded\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeffzrebiec\/status\/1899935041431437403\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FJamesDudko&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1899935041431437403&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com%2Fsports%2Fnfl%2Fbaltimore-ravens%2Frisk-breakout-free-agent-ardarius-washington%2F&amp;sessionId=7adf277e72d808f862d0cd6117b716123fef4643&amp;siteScreenName=heavyonsports&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1899935041431437403\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Seeing Washington depart without getting compensation would surely sting the Ravens and general manager Eric DeCosta. He is trying to navigate tricky waters with little resources, but DeCosta also understands the value of homegrown players who become stars in a Ravens uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Washington fits the bill after a breakout campaign in 2024. His stellar performances have left him apparently frustrated and defiant about the Ravens not offering something better.<\/p>\n<h2>Ar\u2019Darius Washington Reacts to Ravens Move<\/h2>\n<p>Intentional or not, the Ravens using a tender that would allow Washington to sign with another team without yielding compensation says something. It says that while he\u2019s valuable, the Ravens consider Washington far from indispensable.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old sounds unfazed. At least based on his posts on \u2018X.\u2019 Washington\u00a0posted \u201cBet\u201d\u00a0and \u201cSOB all 2025 regardless\u201d\u00a0on March 9.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not unreasonable for the Ravens to think they can do without Washington, since the former undrafted free agent only became a starter midway through last season. Yet, it\u2019s equally natural for Washington to have expected more after the excellent football he put on tape last season.<\/p>\n<p>His\u00a0promotion, along with moving\u00a0fellow safety\u00a0Kyle Hamilton\u00a0into deeper coverage, helped inspire a significant revival for the Ravens defensively.<\/p>\n<p>The turnaround was described by\u00a0Gordon McGuinness of Pro Football Focus back in December.<\/p>\n<div id=\"d040c86922f1ae8d9c03285ea65b9883\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"lazy-embed lazy-embed--ssr embed-twitter-com lazy-embed--loaded\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF_Gordon\/status\/1871200776300986451\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FJamesDudko&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1871200776300986451&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com%2Fsports%2Fnfl%2Fbaltimore-ravens%2Frisk-breakout-free-agent-ardarius-washington%2F&amp;sessionId=7adf277e72d808f862d0cd6117b716123fef4643&amp;siteScreenName=heavyonsports&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1871200776300986451\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Possibly breaking up a partnership this effective is an obvious risk for the Ravens, but DeCosta has little choice. He entered 2025 NFL free agency lacking true walking around money and has since spent the bulk of what he had on maintaining and improving the supporting cast around quarterback\u00a0Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n<h2>Ravens Have Used Limited Cap Space in Other Areas<\/h2>\n<p>DeCosta has already extended the stay of Jackson\u2019s\u00a0All-Pro blindside protector, while also re-upping running back\u00a0Derrick Henry\u2019s lead-blocker,\u00a0Patrick Ricard. Jackson will welcome those decisions, but the big move involved equipping him with a\u00a0$6 million playmaker.<\/p>\n<p>Those deals meant there was little money left over for Washington. The Ravens have just $2,210,626 worth of cap space remaining,\u00a0per Spotrac.com.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t leave DeCosta with a lot of options, but the lowly figure does bring the issue of defensive depth into focus. Especially when defensive backs\u00a0Arthur Maulet\u00a0and\u00a0Marcus Williams\u00a0have or will be released, while nose tackle\u00a0Michael Pierce\u00a0retired,\u00a0per Zrebiec.<\/p>\n<p>There are gaps still to fill at the level of depth, but Washington\u2019s departure would leave a sizeable hole in the starting lineup. A hole tougher to countenance if the Ravens received nothing in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty The Baltimore Ravens are taking a major risk with a breakout free agent.
