John Harbaugh responds to the notion that the Ravens took a step back with how the last couple of months have went

Madubuike was an example of keeping good players around past initial contracts and within the franchise for the long haul. The same thing they’ve done with Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, Marlon Humphrey, etc.

Harbaugh explained that the team is going to try to compete for the big picture each and every season. Sometimes it may look different but that remains the goal.

“So, that ongoing process is part of this whole big picture, and the goal is to be in, all in every single year, as best as you can be. You can’t just be, ‘Oh, we’re going to put all our chips on the table this year, and next year we’re going to fold and not play any games.’ No, we’re going to try to win the championship every single year, as many games as we can.

With the offseason the Ravens have had, Harbaugh thinks they’ll be very good once again next year. Baltimore made it to the AFC Championship game a few months ago and that’s something they want to build off of.

“That’s what we’re all about. That’s what football is. It’s not just a math equation. It’s more than that, and that’s what makes it so exciting and so interesting. And we’re going to have a heck of a team next year, you wait and you watch. You wait and see what we do.”
