Brandon Scherff Named a Veteran Free Agent to Consider for Ravens
While the Ravens' roster was recently ranked the second-most complete team, they're always looks for ways to improve. One potential addition is veteran free agent offensive lineman Brandon Scherff, arguably the best interior lineman left on the market.
Scherff spent the last three seasons in Jacksonville after spending the first seven years of his career in Washington.
"Brandon Scherff, by the time the 2025 season concludes, will be 34," Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport wrote. "But after battling injuries over seven seasons in Washington, he played in all 51 games over his three-year stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars."
Scherff was one of the NFL's best interior linemen last season, according to PFSN’s Kyle Soppe.
"Scherff didn't allow a single sack in 592 pass-blocking snaps this season," Soppe wrote. "Among guards, only Trey Smith of the Kansas City Chiefs (665) had more pass-blocking snaps without allowing a sack. Scherff will play most of next season at 33 years old (his birthday is December 26)."
However, Scherff hasn't always been as stout of a blocker in the run game, which could be why he remains unsigned.
"Admittedly, the five-time Pro Bowler wasn't as effective as a run-blocker a year ago—PFF graded him 97th among guards in that regard," Davenport wrote. "But there's a reason why he has been linked to a number of teams, including Super Bowl contenders such as the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs. The more depleted the available offensive linemen become, the better Scherff looks. And he's likely mulling multiple offers."
The Ravens have a returning starter in right guard Daniel Faalele, and veterans Andrew Vorhees and Ben Cleveland, as well as rookie Emery Jones Jr. once he's recovered from a shoulder injury, are expected to compete to replace Patrick Mekari at left guard.
