Ravens reportedly planning to hire Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for same position
A familiar face is returning to Baltimore.
The Ravens are working to hire Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for the same position, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Details of contract talks were not reported. Weaver would join the staff of first-year head coach Jesse Minter, who previously worked as the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers under Jim Harbaugh.
The Ravens hired Minter to replace former head coach John Harbaugh, whom they fired in January after his 18 seasons on the job. Weaver would presumably work closely with Minter in building Baltimore's defensive identity.
Weaver will return to the Ravens team that drafted him into the NFL as a player in the second round of the 2002 draft. A defensive end, Weaver played four seasons for the Ravens and three more for the Houston Texans through the 2008 season.
Weaver also previously worked on John Harbaugh's staff in Baltimore. He's been a defensive line coach or defensive coordinator in the NFL since 2012. He spent three seasons from 2021-24 as Baltimore's defensive line coach and two of those as an associate head coach.
This will be Weaver's third defensive coordinator job. He took over as defensive coordinator for Houston in 2020 after four seasons as the team's defensive line coach. He then worked two seasons as the defensive coordinator in Miami under head coach Mike McDaniel from 2023-24.
