The Baltimore Ravens defensive line may be the team’s deepest unit, but there’s certainly room to add Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy to the group.

So far, the most popular suitors for recent free agent defensive linemen Gerald McCoy have been the Cleveland Browns (ew…), the Indianapolis Colts, and the Los Angeles Rams. Well, you might just have to throw the Baltimore Ravens in there, too.

Former Ebony Bird site-expert Joe Schiller gave his opinion on Baltimore’s top sports radio station, 105.7 The Fan, stating the following:

"From what we’ve seen this offseason, DeCosta and the front office have followed a plan. I’m not sure McCoy makes sense given the price tag he’ll command and the competition the Ravens will fight against. — Joe Schiller"

It certainly would be far from a universally loved move, as current Ebony Bird site-expert Chris Schisler believes it would be in the team’s bets interest to avoid signing McCoy (take a look at his opinion more here).

However, I’m here to tell you the opposite of my peers, as I am of the belief that Gerald McCoy would be a tremendous addition to the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, I truly believe that McCoy could be a transcendent piece for the defense in 2019.
