The Baltimore Ravens are being seen as a strong candidate to sign an All-Pro linebacker to replace Patrick Queen, who has moved to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Among the top names considered are Devin White from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Shaq Thompson from the Carolina Panthers.
Devin White has had a notable career with the Buccaneers, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections while contributing significantly to their Super Bowl win. Despite a slightly down 2023 season due to injuries, White remains a high-caliber linebacker and is looking for a new team after requesting a trade last offseason. The Ravens are seen as a great fit for him, especially if they do not re-sign Queen .
Shaq Thompson, on the other hand, has been identified as another potential replacement. Thompson has been a consistent performer for the Panthers, with multiple seasons surpassing 100 tackles.
Although he missed most of the 2023 season due to an injury, his experience and skill set make him a valuable asset. If the Ravens decide to trade for him, he could provide the stability and performance needed to bolster their defense alongside Roquan Smith.
Overall, the Ravens are actively exploring their options to maintain their defensive strength and remain competitive in the AFC.
Both White and Thompson offer different advantages, and the decision will likely hinge on financial considerations and strategic fit within the team’s defensive scheme.
