The Ravens and Under Armour’s girls flag football initiative is expanding this fall, with Baltimore County Public Schools and St. Mary’s County Public Schools set to receive grant funding and uniforms ahead of the 2026 season.

The Ravens cannot afford to be wasteful this year. They have Super Bowl hopes, little salary cap flexibility and an NFL-high eight Day 3 picks in the draft.

The Nationals (4-8) will head to Milwaukee for a weekend series after an uncharacteristically quiet day.

After Nathan Church’s two-out, two-run homer off Nationals reliever Gus Varland tied the game in the eighth, an announced crowd of 20,036 offered mostly groans.

The Banner spoke with medical experts and former NFL front-office officials to help unpack how such a massive deal could come undone so quickly.

“Nobody more disappointed than me,” said Eric DeCosta, who called Maxx Crosby, an elite run defender and proven pass rusher, “one of my favorite players in the entire NFL.”

Lamar Jackson was set to count $74.5 million against the cap in 2026, which was the second-highest figure in the NFL and represented nearly a quarter of the Ravens’ total space.

The four-year, $112 million deal is worth $28 million annually and can reach $120 million total with additional incentives, according to ESPN.

Simpson, 28, is joining the Ravens on a three-year, $30 million deal.
