Not going to happen:

Cameron Meredith is a good player but the Ravens locking him up is probably not going to be a headline. First of all he is coming off an injury that made him miss the 2017 season. Secondly, Meredith is a restricted free agent and the Bears would probably match the Ravens offer. That means the Ravens would probably have to overpay Meredith to get him wearing purple and black. Meredith is a good player, but he is the least likely player to sign with the Ravens. SB Nation’s Bears blog Windy City Gridiron, is confident that Meredith will go back to Chicago:

I wouldn’t mind being wrong about this, because Meredith put up some good numbers in the 2016 season. In 2016, Meredith had 888 yards and four touchdowns on 66 receptions. That’s the kind of season John Harbaugh and company would want to get from their number two wide receiver. Meredith is a lot like Hurns, in terms of size and skill set. While he is coming off a knee injury, he’s only 25 with a full career left in front of him. The Ravens would be paying for potential and that is always costly.

If I had my druthers, the Ravens would end up with Hurns or Meredith. I think the most realistic signing would be Snead. All three players would be good pick-ups for the Ravens it’s not hard to see why the team has interest in them. Hopefully, for the Ravens sake they can sign one of these wide receivers. It would certainly free them up to do whatever they wanted in the NFL Draft.
