The Baltimore Ravens faced a disappointing end to their playoff hopes after a narrow defeat against the Buffalo Bills, losing 27-25. The loss leaves the Ravens reflecting on a season filled with potential but ultimately falling short once again. As the offseason approaches, Baltimore's front office is already evaluating their financial limitations which could complicate their efforts to bolster the team.

Recent analysis indicates that the Ravens might struggle to pursue high-profile free agents like Tee Higgins or Amari Cooper due to a tight salary cap situation. Instead, they might focus on more budget-friendly options or low-risk trades for younger players who haven't yet reached their potential, which could help fill roster gaps.
