NFL's top 100 shocker: Ravens dominate list with budget superstars
NFL's top 100 shocker (Image via Getty) As other NFL franchises scramble to balance big contracts with cap constraints, the Baltimore Ravens are showing how to win with value. Stacked with Pro Bowlers on cost-efficient deals, Baltimore's roster was just spotlighted in CBS Sports' Top 100 and 'All-Bargain Team. ' With stars like Tyler Linderbaum and Kyle Hamilton still on rookie contracts, the Ravens are turning smart spending into serious Super Bowl potential. Two stars, one strategy: Elite talent on rookie deals Tyler Linderbaum was ranked as the NFL's second-best center by PFF heading into 2025, despite carrying just a $4.2M cap hit this season. He's already a multi-time Pro Bowler and could soon join the Ravens' list of extended cornerstones. Safety Kyle Hamilton, a back-to-back All-Pro and defensive game-changer, is still playing under his rookie deal at just $5.2M in 2026. Both players are now eligible for contract talks this summer. Baltimore's front office has mastered the art of maximizing cap space while locking down elite players before market spikes. Instead of chasing high-priced veterans, the Ravens focus on drafting well and negotiating early — a strategy that's kept their core intact. CBS Sports named six Ravens in its 2025 Top 100, with two being among the league's best bargains. That balance of performance and payroll makes them one of the NFL's most sustainable contenders. Lamar's supporting cast grows without overspending Lamar Jackson may be the face of the franchise, but it's his supporting cast that shows Baltimore's brilliance. While other top quarterbacks have costlier lineups, the Ravens built around Lamar with ascending stars like Linderbaum and Hamilton — all without straining their budget. With room to extend key players and flexibility for midseason moves, the Ravens remain playoff-ready without financial panic. Their strategic depth is now being recognized leaguewide. Also read: AFC on Alert: Kansas City Chiefs still cast the longest shadow in the conference The Ravens are more than contenders — they're a case study in front-office excellence. With smart contracts, timely drafting, and standout production from young stars, Baltimore has built a championship roster without paying championship prices. And that's a win both on the field and on the books. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Kyle Hamilton: Jaire Alexander is a "great addition" to Ravens' secondary
Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton is thrilled that Baltimore signed cornerback Jaire Alexander last week. "Great addition," Hamilton said, via "He's been one of the best in this league since he got in it. To have anybody like that, no matter what position, especially as a DB, it's super valuable." Advertisement Alexander arrives in Baltimore after seven years in Green Bay, where he was the Packers' first-round pick in 2018. The Ravens will play with a very talented secondary featuring five first-round picks on the field at the same time this season: Alexander and Ravens 2024 first-round pick Nate Wiggins at cornerback, 2021 first-round pick Hamilton at strong safety, 2025 first-round pick Malaki Starks at free safety and 2017 first-round pick Marlon Humphrey at cornerback. With that kind of talent, the Ravens have invested as heavily in their secondary as any team in the league, and they expect the results to speak for themselves.
