In five years since taking over as the general manager of the Baltimore Ravens in 2019, Eric DeCosta has not been afraid to make aggressive moves to improve the team’s roster. He has taken big swings in free agency and acquired a prominent player at a position of need at the midseason trade deadline in three of the last five seasons. It was almost four out of five.
Ahead of the 2023 deadline, the Ravens were rumored to be in the market to trade for an upgrade at running back after losing J.K. Dobbins to a torn Achilles in the season opener and before undrafted rookie Keaton Mitchell emerged.
