Potential Receiver Targets

Eric Decker- An interesting option if he were to get cut from the Jets. Could very well be a possibility since they drafted a similar to receiver to him in Chad Hansen. He missed most of last season because of a shoulder injury, but can still be productive if healthy. The question is of course if he is healthy. He is only 30 years old and the Ravens could squeeze a couple years out of him.

Anquan Boldin- Seems like the wide receiver that makes the most sense for the Ravens. He played three seasons with the Ravens before and has chemistry with quarterback Joe Flacco. After catching eight touchdowns last season, Boldin has shown he can still play. Isn’t going to be burning anyone down the field but he is a possession receiver. The Ravens could get him cheap on a 1-2 year deal.

Vincent Jackson- Like Boldin, Vincent Jackson is a possession kind of receiver. With Mike Evans the main target there, Jackson has fallen out of favor. The concern is the injury history, since he has only played 15 games in the past two seasons. There is definitely promise if he comes at the right price. Jackson has eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark six times in his career.
