2. Mike Wallace

Wallace was one of the big free agent signings that Ozzie Newsome made in the summer of 2016.

After a great start to his career in Pittsburgh, the wide receiver regressed in Miami and Minnesota. He found home to the Ravens last season and performed well. He caught for over 1,000 yards and was a speedy target for Joe Flacco.

I could see this move making since, especially since Wallace will be making $8 million this upcoming year. The Ravens are trying to get young at the wide receiver position and that kind of money would be critical in signing free agents. Even with his success last season, Wallace seemed to tail off in the remaining games. He did not catch a touchdown or reach over the 70 yard mark in receiving yards in the second half of the season. The Ravens are expecting Breshad Perriman to become the #1 receiver, so Wallace could be on his way out.
