Pierce, 31, has started all 16 games for a Ravens defense that has allowed the fewest points (16.4) and the fourth-fewest yards (302.1) in the NFL this season. He signed a three-year, $16.5 million contract with Baltimore in 2022, but restructured the deal in March, making him a free agent in 2024.
In his seventh season in the NFL, Pierce ranks third among Ravens in rushing stop win rate (36.9%) and second among Baltimore defensive linemen with 19 pass rush wins. The biggest improvement for Pierce has been his durability. He played in double-digit games for the first time since 2019, and his 619 snaps this season are the most of his career.
The Ravens’ priority on the defensive line is retener al tackle Justin Madubuike, who leads all NFL interior linemen with 13 sacks. He is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
Baltimore (13-3)which has already secured first place in the AFC, hosts rivals Pittsburgh Steelers this Saturday in the last game of the regular season.
