Ravens Free Agent Rumors: Sign Lions WR to Replace Odell Beckham Jr…
When the new league year commences on March 13, the Baltimore Ravens face numerous pending free agents to address, including star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The question looms: will the Ravens opt to re-sign Beckham, who received a hefty $16 million contract last year, widely perceived as an overpayment? Alternatively, might they explore avenues to replace him, whether through the draft or free agency?
Bleacher Report recently floated the idea that another free agent could step in to fill Beckham’s shoes in Baltimore. This candidate, having recently played in the NFC Championship game, is former Texas A&M Aggies wide receiver Josh Reynolds. According to B/R, Reynolds is among the more underrated pending free agents and could potentially mesh well with quarterback Lamar Jackson and emerging second-year receiver Zay Flowers in Baltimore. Standing at 6’3″ and weighing 194 pounds, Reynolds possesses the physical attributes to make contested catches downfield, evidenced by his impressive 15.2 yards per reception average with the Detroit Lions this past season. Despite never being a primary receiver, Reynolds has consistently contributed to successful offenses, including stints with the Lions and the Los Angeles Rams. B/R suggests that Reynolds could be a low-profile signing in the offseason but could play a significant role for a playoff-contending team.
While Reynolds appears to possess the skillset to serve as a strong secondary option behind Flowers in Baltimore, the larger question pertains to Flowers himself. Will the former Boston College standout encounter a sophomore slump, or will he sustain the promising trajectory of his rookie season and establish himself as Jackson’s primary target?
