Rayshawn Jenkins has not needed to wait long to line up his next gig. Shortly after his Steelers release, the veteran safety is set to remain in the AFC North.
Jenkins has agreed to a deal with the Ravens, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. This will be his third straight contract within the division. Prior to his brief Pittsburgh tenure, Jenkins spent last season in Cleveland.
Baltimore has struggled against the pass in 2026. The secondary has largely been healthy, although safety Jaylinn Hawkins was sidelined through injury during yesterday’s loss. It thus comes as little surprise a midseason addition at that position is being pursued, with Jenkins offering plenty of experience to his latest team.
The 10th-year veteran has made 145 appearances and 93 starts during the regular season. A workload similar to his Chargers or Jaguars campaigns is unlikely since the Ravens have Hawkins, Kyle Hamilton and Malaki Starks in place at the safety spot. Even so, a depth role for Jenkins could help offer stability to a Baltimore team which ranks 16th in passing yards allowed per game.
