The Ravens have an easy choice to move on.

Well, the Baltimore Ravens have an easy decision to move on from pending free agent and guard Daniel Faalele.

The Ravens selected Daniel Faalele in round four (110th overall) in 2022. Playing out the final season of his rookie deal, the 26-year-old had a forgettable 2025 campaign on a tremendously disappointing Baltimore team.

Baltimore already made one drastic change after getting eliminated from playoff contention with a Week 18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Legendary head coach John Harbaugh was fired on Tuesday, ending his 18-year tenure with the organization.

As far as roster changes go? If the Ravens strictly look at the game tape, they’ll have an easy decision to move on from Daniel Faalele as well.

Someone made a compilation of Faalele’s struggles throughout the 2025 season. And, well, let’s just say that Lamar Jackson will be happy to have a new guard next year:

Pro Football Focus gave Daniel Faalele a 57.2 overall grade for 2025, ranking him 53rd among 81 guards. He committed five penalties and allowed four sacks.

Daniel Faalele Is Among Several Notable Ravens’ 2026 Pending Free Agents

Aside from Faalele, linebacker Kyle Van Noy, former Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, center Tyler Linderbaum and safety Alohi Gilman headline the Ravens’ group of pending free agents.

Baltimore GM Eric DeCosta isn’t one to spend lavishly in free agency. But he might not have a choice this time. The Ravens have holes on the o-line and secondary, and they definitely need extra help at wide receiver.

Few teams draft as well as the Ravens, but DeCosta should use the open market to fill some of his roster voids. Trey Hendrickson, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Wyatt Teller, Joel Bitonio and Haason Reddick are among the notable free agents who could help Baltimore re-emerge as a championship contender.

For now, the Ravens’ focus is on finding the successor to John Harbaugh.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
