Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Biscotti made a series of interesting announcements Friday at his end-of-season press conference about the future of his club.
After revealing that longtime general manager Ozzie Newsome will step down into a lesser role after the 2018 season, Biscotti admitted that he has thought about firing John Harbaugh despite having just one losing season in the head coach's 10-year tenure.
"It was certainly a consideration, but not one that I was inclined to make this year," Bisciotti said, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley.
The Ravens came one fourth-down stop from making the playoffs in 2017, extending their postseason drought to three years. Harbaugh has kept the Ravens competitive through that stretch despite the inconsistency of his offense, led by Joe Flacco, the fourth highest-paid player in the NFL.
The 10-year veteran just put together his worst season since his rookie year, but Biscotti says he hasn't even thought of life after Flacco, who has four years remaining on his contract. Biscotti did say that he expects to add some offensive playmakers to help Flacco this offseason.
