The Baltimore Ravens’ defense was one of the best in the league this past season. Here’s now it can get better.<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0cut veteran edge rusher Von Miller back in March to create cap space, and he has still not been picked up by a team.<\/p>\n

But that could change very soon.<\/p>\n

In a recent article by Anthony Palacios of\u00a0The Last Word on Sports, he outlines some of the teams that could pick up Miller, and one of the teams he mentions is the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n

“After losing Malik Harrison, the Baltimore Ravens should feel desperate to get any available free agent linebacker,” Palacios writes. “Odafe Oweh has a lot of promise, but he can\u2019t succeed if Trenton Simpson can\u2019t pull it together on the other side of the pass-rush. Kyle Van Noy and Roquan Smith are the best defenders on this roster, but they\u2019re just one dynamic player away from having a complete defense. Miller might be past his prime, but maybe he\u2019s the last piece to push the Ravens for a\u00a0Super Bowl.”<\/p>\n
