February 3, 2026 - 02:42

In a significant coaching shift, Anthony Weaver is leaving the Miami Dolphins to accept the role of defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. The move marks a major addition to Head Coach John Harbaugh's staff, filling a critical vacancy.

Weaver, who served as the defensive line coach and run game coordinator in Miami, brings a wealth of experience and a respected defensive mind to Baltimore. His background includes a previous stint as a defensive coordinator with the Houston Texans and a successful playing career as a defensive end in the NFL. His expertise in building formidable defensive fronts and his leadership qualities were key factors in his hiring.

The Ravens, known for their traditionally strong defensive identity, are entrusting Weaver to guide that unit forward. He will be tasked with maintaining the team's high defensive standards and implementing his strategic vision. This appointment concludes Baltimore's search for a new defensive leader after the departure of their previous coordinator.

For the Dolphins, Weaver's exit creates an important opening on Head Coach Mike McDaniel's defensive staff. The organization will now seek a replacement to continue developing their defensive line and run-stopping schemes. The league-wide movement of assistant coaches continues to reshape team dynamics ahead of the new season.
