The October trade of Oweh to the AFC West indicated Baltimore had moved on, but Minter’s arrival provides a path to a potential reunion. In 2025 with the Chargers, Oweh delivered 7.5 sacks in 12 games, a production jump that underscored what the former first-rounder can become when harnessed by the right scheme and coaching.
Fox Sports’ Greg Auman flagged Oweh as a possible Ravens target, noting the Chargers’ near $100 million in cap space and naming the Tennessee Titans as another potential suitor. Yet his overarching point was that Baltimore remains a plausible landing spot for Oweh, provided Minter can recreate the connection that unlocked his production.
Oweh’s improvement under Minter wasn’t just about a few sacks; it was the refinement of technique, including improved hand use and a tight cross chop/club to generate pressure. He also delivered two notable playoff moments, sacking Drake Maye three times in the wild-card round against the Patriots, highlighting the potential for a fearsome edge presence if he returns to Baltimore.
Even if Oweh isn’t back in the stars-and-stripes, Minter’s next challenge remains the Ravens’ current edge-rushing corps. Baltimore can expect continued development from second-round pick Mike Green, who led college football in sacks in 2024 but notched only 3.5 as a rookie, suggesting a significant upside remains if coached effectively.
Beyond the young players, veteran Dre’Mont Jones could be a key free-agent target to pair with Green. Jones’s versatility would add depth and a disruptive dimension to Baltimore’s front seven, complementing the potential emergence of a young rush group and helping the defense pressure opponents more consistently under Minter’s system.
