OWINGS MILLS, Md. Dick Ca s had a widely succe sful tenure as the Ravens president, highlighted by a victory in Super BowlXLVII.Now, the time has come for Ca s to step aside and let Sashi Brown take over that role.”What I think about is over the 18 years, how this organization has grown; how weve grown in the sense that the community really looks to us as Cethan Carter Jersey a source of pride, and I think weve become more and more deeply embedded in the community,” Ca s said. “Weve only been here a little over 25 years, and I think it takes a long time for a profe sional team to become really part of the community in the way we have.”Im really proud of the way we have really developed into an organization that people look to with a lot of pride. I think thats important in Baltimore, its important in any NFL city, but I think were doing a good job with that, and we just have to keep it going.When Steve Bisciotti became the team’s majority owner in 2004, his first hire was naming Ca s as president John Jenkins Jersey . For the nearly two decades since, Ca s has provided the franchise with busine s knowledge, legal and negotiating expertise and philanthropic principles.Under his direction, Ca s helped create the organizational culture for which the Ravens are known today. Most recently, he led the organization through challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic and worked at the forefront of the team’s social justice reform efforts, engaging local and federal legislators to enact policy change. With roots deeply entrenched throughout the Baltimore community,Scroll to ContinueCa s has overseen countle s initiatives with the goal of creating better opportunities and circumstances for those most in need. An impactful presence on the board of the Ravens Foundation, Inc., Ca s has also served on boards for the Greater Baltimore Committee, Kennedy Krieger Institute and Baltimore Community Foundation.Ca s has spearheaded multiple M&T Bank Jaelan Phillips Jersey Stadium improvement/enhancement projects, reaching investment levels over $200 million. Through these efforts, the Ravens have consistently ranked among the NFL’s best in gameday experience, as recognized by the annual Voice of the Fan survey.Ca s also led the construction and subsequent expansion, at a total cost of more than $90 million, of the Ravens’ Under Armour Performance Center, which continues as one of the NFL’s best office and practice facilities. Since his 2004 Baltimore arrival, Ca s has helped guide Ravens teams that have won five AFC North titles, clinched 10 postseason berths, appeared in three AFC Championship games and won one Super Bowl (XLVII in 2012). During his tenure, Baltimore has produced the NFL’s fifth-best overall winning percentage (.586), including the league’s third-best mark at home (.713).What advice does he have for Brown?Ive given him the same advice that Steve Bisciotti gave to me: your first job is to get everyone to like you,” Ca s said. “Your job is so much easier if you Myles Gaskin Jersey earn their respect, and you cant earn their respect and you cant get them to like you by giving them more money, either. You have to do it the hard way. You have to work at it, get to know everybody and spend some time getting to know people.”Itll be much more challenging for Sashi because were such a larger organization than we were in 2004, when I first started. But I think thats very important, and thats actually the advice Steve gave him already.
