Outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy, a free agent, answered questions from followers on Twitter in an occasional Q&A session. Fans of the Ravens inquired about his availability for the 2024 campaign as well as whether he had been in talks to re-sign with the team. Van Noy claims that he has discussed a potential comeback with General Manager Eric DeCosta.
Van Noy was among DeCosta’s best signings last season, and that’s saying something considering nearly each signing added to their AFC Championship run. DeCosta signed cornerbacks Ronald Darby and Arthur Maulet, wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor and outside linebackers Jadeveon Clowney and Van Noy. Unlike the others, Van Noy signed with the Ravens in late September and he didn’t miss a beat, racking up nine sacks (single-season personal best) four passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 14 games.
The Ravens have a need at outside linebacker as both Clowney and Van Noy inked one-year deals last season. Both flourished, producing a combined 18.5 sacks and either tied or broke their respective single-season sack mark. Bringing back one of them helps reduce their need of a pass rusher and brings back a veteran to mentor the likes of Odafe Oweh, David Ojabo and Tavius Robinson.
Van Noy shared his affinity with the organization on the Twitter, giving credit to Team Owner Steve Bisciotti.
