The offense has lost at least three players from their SuperBowl starting eleven.

NOTES: There will be other players who, according to BaltimoreRavens.com, are on the Ravens roster, ether active or one of the Restricted and Exclusive Rights Free Agent, who are not listed here due to my belief that they will not fill roles on the team in 2013 to justify mentioning. Some players might be listed in other positions. If there are others listed, please mention for discussion purposes in the comments section below.
