AFC North. Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore Ravens. 2. player. 26.

The Baltimore Ravens are very much a “run the ball first” kind of team and that’ll continue to be the case as long as Lamar Jackson is their quarterback. The Ravens currently sit second to last in the league when it comes to passing yards per game and adding Antonio Brown to their offense would immediately give that unit some life.

Baltimore has Hollywood Brown and Willie Snead as their two starting receivers, but Devin Duvernay has also shown a lot of promise this year. Throwing Brown into that group would give Jackson a tremendous talent to throw the ball to and could help the reigning MVP feel more comfortable airing it out.

The Ravens have already been linked to Brown and the signing would make a lot of sense for both sides. It gives Baltimore a top notch receiver and Brown would get to not only join a Super Bowl contender, but would have the chance to square off two times against his long-time team.

This seems like a no brainer move for the Ravens, but at the same time, they’ve been doing well offensively and might decide the noise surrounding the potential signing wouldn’t be worth it. That’ll be what John Harbaugh and company have to decide in the coming weeks.
