The Bottom Line:

We don’t really know how much interest the Ravens have in Breeland. The only thing we know is that he is scheduled to meet with the team. If Breeland is healthy and ready to go, he would be a welcomed addition to the defense. The Ravens wouldn’t be filling a need, but they would be getting better in the secondary, even if it meant saying goodbye to a decent player like Carr.

Breeland has multiple suitors and he may not come cheap. According to Pro Football Talk, Breeland has met with the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and the Indianapolis Colts. Breeland is certainly making his rounds. The fact that he is unsigned at this point, may point to him being patient and selective. It may also mean that the teams involved have some reservations about signing Breeland to the kind of money he is looking for.

Next. Who will lead the Ravens in sacks?. dark

Breeland is a very intriguing player. If Breeland joined the Ravens it would almost be unfair. Jimmy Smith is about as elite as they come. Humphrey is right behind Smith, he looks like a dominant young cornerback. Putting Breeland in a group with guys like Tavon Young, Maurice Cannady and Anthony Averett would be a dream come true. All we can do now is wait and see, but this is very interesting news coming out of Owings Mills.
