Overview
- Baltimore announced the hire Tuesday, bringing back a former Ravens assistant and ex-defensive end to lead the unit.
- Weaver, 45, spent the past two seasons as the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator, with Miami ranking fourth in yards allowed in 2024 before dropping to 22nd in yards and 24th in points in 2025.
- Baltimore’s defense under 2025 coordinator Zach Orr ranked 24th in yards allowed per game and 18th in points, prompting a rapid reset on that side of the ball.
- Weaver previously coached in Baltimore from 2021 to 2023 as defensive line coach, run game coordinator and assistant head coach, and he began his NFL playing career with the Ravens.
- A sought-after candidate this cycle, Weaver interviewed for multiple head-coaching jobs, and he now joins a staff that recently added Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator.
