Why signing Antonio Brown is a slam dunk for the Baltimore Ravens

Antonio Brown to the Baltimore Ravens makes a lot of sense and Lamar Jackson and the offense would benefit tremendously with him in the lineup.

The Baltimore Ravens should sign Antonio Brown to an incentive-laden contract for the upcoming 2020 season.

We all know the troublesome story of Antonio Brown by now, but other than the upcoming legal issues, what do the Baltimore Ravens have to lose by signing him? You put together a contract with a lot of incentives that Brown has to achieve so he has to work hard and stay motivated in order to rack up the cash.

If for some reason Brown has any off the field issues or causes rifts in the locker room, you can cut him without having to owe him guaranteed money. It’s a no brainer for me and the Baltimore Ravens have nothing to lose.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and the offense would benefit from having Antonio Brown in the lineup. If Brown was being double-teamed, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Miles Boykin would be able to take advantage of the single coverages down the field. The current wide receivers on the Ravens roster are young and Brown brings experience and could teach the young wideouts some things.

Another reason why Antonio Brown to the Baltimore Ravens is a slam dunk is because it would really piss off the Pittsburgh Steelers fans. What better way to stir up the rivalry a little more than signing a former Pro Bowl player that was one of their best receivers in history?

I’m sure Brown would be excited to play Pittsburgh twice a year and beat them to show them how much they made a mistake by trading him.  A little extra motivation might not be a bad thing for Antonio Brown and the Baltimore Ravens.

The only concerns I have and that most Ravens fans should have is the legal issues, the NFL, and Antonio Brown’s mental state of mind. It seems like every day that Brown says he will retire, but then the next day says that he wants to play again so hopefully he’s ready to play if he’s reinstated by the league.

He only played in one game in 2019, so he might be a little rusty coming back, but just having him in the lineup will make teams respect the Ravens passing game even more.  Now you have to worry about the run game, Lamar Jackson, and Antonio Brown.  How scary will that be for defenses around the league?

Most fans will have mixed feelings about this, but I say sign Antonio Brown.  Either he helps the team or causes drama which then you can cut him.  Do you think AB is a slam dunk for the Ravens?
