Baltimore Locks in Depth & Developmental Talent for Next Season
The Baltimore Ravens have wasted no time in shaping their 2025 offseason roster, signing 11 players to reserve/future contracts as they look to build depth and evaluate young talent heading into next year.
What Are Reserve/Future Contracts?
These deals are given to players not on an active roster at season’s end, allowing teams to secure developmental talent before the official start of free agency. Most of these players spent time on practice squads and will compete for roster spots in the offseason.
The Ravens’ 11 Reserve/Future Signings
🏈 OT Corey Bullock
🏈 WR Malik Cunningham
🏈 G Darrian Dalcourt
🏈 LB William Kwenkeu
🏈 QB Devin Leary
🏈 TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden
🏈 DE Adedayo Odeleye
🏈 DT Basil Okoye
🏈 DE C.J. Ravenell
🏈 WR Dayton Wade
🏈 WR Anthony Miller
Among these signings, nine were on the Ravens’ practice squad last season, while one new addition—defensive tackle Basil Okoye—joins from outside the organization.
Breaking Down the Key Names
🔹 WR Anthony Miller – Veteran Pass-Catcher with Playoff Experience
Miller, a former Chicago Bears second-round pick, worked his way onto Baltimore’s active roster late in the season and made a sneaky impact in the playoffs, recording catches in both postseason games.
Why He’s Interesting:
✅ Veteran experience (34 career starts)
✅ Has shown flashes as a solid slot receiver
✅ Could provide needed WR depth in 2025
If the Ravens reshuffle their receiver room, Miller could have an outside chance to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster.
🔹 QB Devin Leary – A Developmental Quarterback Prospect
Baltimore added former Kentucky QB Devin Leary, who went undrafted in 2024 but flashed a strong arm and leadership ability in college.
Why He’s Interesting:
✅ Strong pocket passer with SEC experience
✅ Developmental potential behind Lamar Jackson & Tyler Huntley
✅ Practice squad candidate for 2025
With Huntley’s future uncertain, Leary could push for a spot as Baltimore’s QB3.
🔹 DT Basil Okoye – A New Addition from the International Pathway Program
Okoye is the only new signing from outside the organization, joining after the Los Angeles Chargers chose not to retain him.
Why He’s Interesting:
✅ International Player Pathway Program standout
✅ Had a sack in his first preseason game
✅ Raw but physically gifted defensive lineman
The Nigerian-born lineman is a long-term project but has intriguing physical tools that could make him a rotational contributor down the road.
🔹 LB William Kwenkeu – Special Teams Contributor with NFL Experience
Kwenkeu was elevated twice from the practice squad in 2024 and saw action in 33 special teams snaps against the Eagles and Giants.
Why He’s Interesting:
✅ Experienced special teams player
✅ Strong tackler and high-effort linebacker
✅ Could push for a roster spot on special teams in 2025
Final Thoughts: Building Depth for 2025
While reserve/future contracts rarely generate major headlines, these signings are crucial for roster depth, giving the Ravens a chance to evaluate developmental talent before training camp.
Biggest Takeaways:
🔹 Anthony Miller could be in the mix for a WR depth role
🔹 Devin Leary gives Baltimore a young QB to develop
🔹 Basil Okoye is a high-upside international project
🔹 Kwenkeu & other special teamers will compete for depth spots
Baltimore will continue shaping its roster in the coming months, with free agency and the NFL Draft still ahead. Some of these players may earn 53-man roster spots, while others could be valuable on the practice squad.
