After conversations with the Dallas Cowboys, the Baltimore Ravens could entertain a trade with these four teams.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With the Dallas Cowboys attempting to get him, the Baltimore Ravens could put wide receiver Rashod Bateman on the trade block before the 2025 regular season.\u00a0According to a report, it seems like the Ravens might leave the door open for other rosters to inquire about Bateman, but it has to come at the right offer. While the Cowboys were trying to trade for him, it\u2019s easy to see why the team had interest before the conversations didn\u2019t last long between Dallas and Baltimore. Originally selected in the 2021 NFL Draft, the former Minnesota product got off to a slow start in the first three seasons of his career with the Ravens, but the team saw some improvement last year.<\/p>\n

However, that probably won\u2019t justify his next contract if the Ravens even give him one. It\u2019s interesting to note that Bateman is explosive \u201cwhen he wants to,\u201d but\u00a0Zay Flowers\u00a0is the clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver for Lamar Jackson\u2019s pass attack. Finally, Bateman had a breakout campaign last season, recording 45 catches for 756 yards and nine touchdowns, which is a good sign for the offense. However, the biggest implication is whether he can stay consistent, and that might not be the case.<\/p>\n

The Ravens wouldn\u2019t have been looking for a capable third-man wideout if it meant Bateman was performing up to standards. With that, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising if the Ravens entertain a trade offer from these four teams.<\/p>\n

Breaking: Ravens First Round Superstar Rashod Bateman On Trade Block \u2013 4 Suitors Emerge<\/h2>\n

Possible Next Teams<\/h3>\n

Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Los Angeles Chargers are rebuilding their entire wide receiver unit after\u00a0drafting Tre Harris this year.\u00a02024 draft pick Ladd McConkey\u00a0is looking like a true superstar, but he won\u2019t excel if it means the team is going backwards and considering signing Keenan Allen and already bringing in Mike Williams. While these two could have some juice left, Bateman might fit as a long-term weapon for Justin Herbert\u2019s offense, at least as the third man receiver.<\/p>\n

Washington Commanders<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the Commanders are still rebuilding as well, even though they\u2019re in a good place since they went to the NFC Championship Game last year.\u00a0Terry McLaurin\u00a0and Deebo Samuel are the two lockdown wide receivers for Jayden Daniels\u2019 offense, but the third spot is still up for grabs despite\u00a0signing Michael Gallup\u00a0and bringing back Noah Brown. While Luke McCaffrey could break out, nobody should count on the Commanders being aggressive during the 2025 season and getting Bateman.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s been a hectic offseason for the New Orleans Saints as they will move on from Derek Carr after\u00a0announcing his retirement.\u00a0It\u2019ll be on Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler to battle it out, but no matter who wins, they will need a capable playmaker either way. If it\u2019s true,\u00a0Chris Olave\u00a0could request a trade any moment, and if that happens, they should at least make some phone calls to get Bateman to pair up with Rashid Shaheed in the slot.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s never been a better time than for the Panthers to be aggressive before the 2025 regular season. After having two back-to-back unproductive years, the team could use another wide receiver once they lose\u00a0Adam Thielen\u00a0to retirement. While they have Tetairoa McMillian, he probably won\u2019t be ready for full-time duties. However, Bateman could come in at the right moment and explode behind Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
