Hours After Kyle Van Noy Deal, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta Joins Doja Cat at a Philanthropic Event in Baltimore

Trades and deals are keeping the NFL members busy. The Baltimore Ravens general manager, Eric DeCosta, is busy even in the offseason, yet he isn’t forgetting to enjoy his heart out for a philanthropic cause.

Just recently, DeCosta agreed to a new two-year deal for Kyle Van Noy, a 33-year-old outside linebacker who proved to be a great fit in 2023. And now, the GM is back to one of the integral parts of his legacy.

Ravens GM Eric DeCosta is a great humanitarian!

Baltimore reporter Jonas Shaffer, shared a video on his official X account. The Ravens general manager, Eric DeCosta, could be seen participating in a philanthropic activity hosted in Baltimore. The reporter tweeted, “A few hours after doing a deal with Kyle Van Noy, Eric DeCosta was walking the runway with Doja Cat at Pawject Runway last night. Generous gesture from the Ravens, too, covering the adoption fees for every pet adopted.”

Baltimore! PawjectRunway 2024 presented by @petcolove was hosted on April 4, 2024. In the shared video, DeCosta could be seen walking down the runway with a pup, as well as holding it in his arms. Besides DeCosta, Doja Cat also joined this fashion show, for her closeup with a furry companion.

The Pawject Runway event sponsored by Petco Love is a fashionable show where adoptable cats and dogs from the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter are showcased. The event features well-known personalities from sports, television, media, and music industries. This time it took place at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, with proceedings going to BARCS and the Show Your Soft Side campaign against animal abuse.

Eric DeCosta had a great time at the show with the little pups, as he attended it just hours after signing Kyle Van Noy, who wanted to return to Baltimore.

Van Noy: Back to home!

Kyle Van Noy decided to return to the Ravens after a successful season with them in 2023. Last year, he waited until after Week 3 to sign with a team, but he proved his worth with the Ravens by finishing with a career-high nine sacks. Van Noy enjoys the atmosphere and culture of the Ravens organization, appreciating the relationship he has built with teammates, owner Steve Bisciotti, General Manager Eric DeCosta, and HC John Harbaugh.

He sees the Ravens as a first-class organization that brings out his best. Van Noy aims to continue pushing himself and his teammates to excel, setting an example for younger players in the team. The athlete expressed, “I’m just so happy and grateful to have my name inked on a team, especially this one. I enjoy coming to work. I enjoy seeing everybody. I enjoy seeing familiar faces. I enjoy being around a bunch of good people and this building has the best people in the league.”

His ultimate goal is to help the Ravens win the Super Bowl, believing they have the potential to do so with the right effort and determination.
