After being cut by the Raiders at the end of 2021, Simpson emerged as the winner of the left guard position, challenging Zeitler physically. After being signed away from the Commanders, Moses started 31 games at right tackle during the previous two seasons before being dealt by the Ravens to the Jets in exchange for a sixth-round pick and two fourth-round picks.

The players will only have an effect on players at the bottom of the compensatory formula if the deals the Ravens sign are small enough, and they currently have more eligible players leaving town in that range than returning. They can hold off on signing players until after June 1st, at which point the draft picks will remain unaffected by compensation formula locks and additions.
