3 players the Baltimore Ravens should pursue in Free Agency
By Keith Runk
With just over a month before NFL Free Agency begins, it’s time for the Baltimore Ravens to turn their focus toward building off a successful 2019 campaign.
We’re just over a month away from the start of what could be an interesting NFL Free Agency for the Baltimore Ravens. It’s time we all step out of the depression from the crushing playoff loss and look ahead to next season.
According to spotrac.com, Baltimore’s brass will be working with an estimated $26.5 million of cap space this offseason. Still, it’s more money than I can recall the team having in years past.
Ravens general manager—and Executive of the Year Award snub—Eric DeCosta showed that the Ravens are going to be more aggressive under his regime with the mid-season trade for Marcus Peters. With this acquisition as a baseline and ample cap space, one could infer the Ravens will apply a similar approach to Free Agency.
In an ideal world, the team that steamrolled their way to a 14-2 season would not have much room for improvement. Even more so when that team ranked 1st and 2nd in offense and defense respectively. It is true, the Ravens were relatively dominant in all three phases for 14 games and rattled off 12 victories to close out the regular season. Still, there were weaknesses.
Perhaps the most exciting thing about this Ravens team is their youth, but youth can also be a downfall. A bit of veteran wisdom could go a long way in a young offense. On the opposite side of the ball, shoring up the edges and filling running lanes could push this defense beyond what we saw in 2019.
The Free Agency landscape is beginning to form, but with this league, you never know how things will shake out. With plenty still left to develop both at home and around the league, here are three Free Agents that could realistically become Baltimore Ravens this offseason.
