Ravens announce Anthony Weaver as their new DC

The Baltimore Ravens have announced Anthony Weaver as their new defensive coordinator. Weaver, 45, returns for his third stint with the Ravens, having previously served as an assistant coach from 2021-23 and played as a defensive end from 2002-05. This appointment marks his 22nd season in the NFL, with 15 of those years spent as a coach.

Weaver takes over the position following his tenure with the Miami Dolphins, where he served as defensive coordinator for two seasons. In 2025, Miami's defense ranked in the top 15 in NFL takeaways, sacks, and forced fumbles under his leadership. During his previous time with Baltimore, the Ravens' defense excelled, allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game and leading the league in third-down defense and opponent red zone touchdown percentage.

New head coach Jesse Minter praised Weaver's defensive acumen and coaching abilities, citing his football IQ and tactical knowledge as key attributes. Weaver's return to Baltimore
