Former Ravens linebacker and defensive coordinator Zach Orr announced his departure from Baltimore on Friday via a social media post:

Baltimore it's always love from my end. Although the last couple years we did not achieve our goals that we set out to achieve, I will choose to cherish the brotherhood, fellow coaches, players making plays, division title, playoff win,etc!

Orr, 33, served as Baltimore's defensive coordinator for the past two seasons, during which time the unit significantly regressed from their success under his predecessor, Mike Macdonald. New Ravens head coach Jesse Minter did replaced Orr with Anthony Weaver, who was passed over for the DC job in 2024.

Orr interviewed for the Chargers' and Cowboys' defensive coordinator vacancies earlier this offseason but did not receive either gig. He will instead reunite with Macdonald in Seattle as the Seahawks' new linebackers coach, per DLLS Sports' Clarence Hill. Orr served in the same role during his first stint under Macdonald in Baltimore in 2022 and 2023 and coached Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen to strong performances in both seasons.
