According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Baltimore Ravens have poached Indianapolis Colts Charlie Gelman, who just completed his third season as the Horseshoe’s football analyst/game management assistant.

He will now serve on new Ravens head coach Jesse Minter’s coaching staff as their game management coordinator and as a defensive assistant—which looks like a promotion of sorts:

Ravens are hiring former Colts assistant Charlie Gelman as their Game Manage Coordinator and defensive assistant. Gelman will replace Daniel Stern, who is expected to become the Browns’ associate head coach.

It’s a homecoming for Gelman, who previously was a football analyst (2022-23), coaching research intern (2021-22), and scouting analytics (2019) for the Baltimore Ravens before joining the Colts back in the 2023 offseason.

It’ll be interesting to see who the Colts will bring into the organization to replace Gelman this early offseason.
