With the trade deadline nearing, the Ravens should make a move to salvage the 2017 season. The Ravens need playmakers if they want a shot at the playoffs.

A 40-0 blowout win versus the Dolphins has given new life to the Baltimore Ravens 2017 season.

The team looked its best since week two versus the Browns. The defense was lights out, the Ravens got their ground game going, and played effective mistake-free football. This is, and always will be, a winning formula for the Ravens.

Even with that in mind, the team still lacks the overall talent to push the team over the top. A trade for one more playmaker could make all the difference for the team. Unfortunately, the Ravens cap space will hold the team back for being players for guys like TY Hilton. But that doesn’t mean the Ravens can’t find some discount playmakers.

The Ravens may have found a new spark in their run game in Alex Collins, and the offensive line is stable. The defense has very few weaknesses. So, what’s left to address? Well…

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but the following trade targets are all about getting Joe Flacco (or whoever else) someone new weapons to throw to. Jeremy Maclin and Mike Wallace are great, but after them, the Ravens have nothing. Plus, if Maclin and Wallace continue to struggle with health, the Ravens are in even more trouble.

With that in mind, here’s who we got as potential adds for the Ravens before the trade deadline:
