Instead, the Cowboys landed Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_my39z0rc1\">Bateman set career-high marks in receiving yards (756) and receiving touchdowns (nine) on 45 catches during the 2024 season. He only had four touchdowns combined in his first three seasons with Baltimore, but showed a real nose for the end zone this past year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_egx4rlmu9\">He played a key role for the Ravens&#8217; offense in the playoffs as Zay Flowers dealt with a knee injury. In both playoff games, Bateman caught a touchdown. Against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round, he finished with four catches for 66 yards and a score.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_3twbxz44h\">The Ravens will now maintain a receiving corps that&#8217;s led by Flowers and Bateman along with the newly-acquired DeAndre Hopkins, who signed with Baltimore this offseason after being traded from the Tennessee Titans to the Kansas City Chiefs last season. Tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely also figure to be among the primary targets for Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_lk7v765tn\">Baltimore will find out its complete 2025 slate when the NFL regular season schedule is released on May 14.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys were reportedly looking at making a trade with the Baltimore Ravens.
