They don&#8217;t have any glaring needs, and they have less than $6 million in cap space, per\u00a0Over the Cap,&#8221; Davenport writes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_tu2nks00c\">&#8220;The Ravens might not have glaring needs, but their roster could use an upgrade or two. Zay Flowers topped 1,000 receiving yards last year, but Baltimore could use another proven wideout to help Lamar Jackson build on last year&#8217;s excellent passing stats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_wg3656h1e\">&#8220;Fitting Adams&#8217; deal under the cap would take work, but Adams would likely jump at the opportunity to play for a legitimate Super Bowl contender. With the Jets seemingly ready to move on from Adams, the 32-year-old probably wouldn&#8217;t be especially expensive in terms of draft capital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ws7eb7pxt\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">It wouldn&#8217;t take the Ravens a whole lot to acquire him, but he does carry an extremely massive cap hit at $38 million right now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_iu2lnynyr\">It&#8217;s far more likely for the Jets to release him and save the money versus a team trading him for a Day 3 draft pick. However, if the\u00a0Ravens\u00a0can find a way to make it work on the trade market to ensure no other team can get him, that could make the offense absolutely unstoppable in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltimore Ravens could add one of the most decorated wide receivers in the NFL.
