The Baltimore Ravens are expected to hire Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver as their new defensive coordinator, according to a report from @AdamSchefter. The move marks a significant homecoming for Weaver, who recently served on the Ravens coaching staff under head coach John Harbaugh before taking the coordinator position in Miami.
Weaver previously spent three seasons in Baltimore from 2021 to 2023. During that tenure, he held the titles of assistant head coach and defensive line coach, playing a pivotal role in the development of one of the league's most consistent defensive units. His familiarity with the Ravens' defensive philosophy and personnel is expected to provide a seamless transition as he takes over the coordinator duties for the upcoming season.
Before his recent coaching stints in Baltimore and Miami, Weaver built an extensive coaching resume across the NFL, including stops with the Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, and Buffalo Bills. He also played seven seasons in the league as a defensive end, including four seasons with the Ravens from 2002 to 2005, further deepening his ties to the organization.
This hire fills a critical vacancy on the Ravens coaching staff as they look to maintain their status as a top-tier defensive power in the AFC. Further details regarding the contract and official announcement are expected to follow from the team shortly.
