In response to a season-ending injury for Michael Campanaro, the Baltimore Ravens made a move at wide receiver, trading a future draft pick to the St. Louis Rams for Chris Givens.
Givens, a 6’0 speedster in his fourth NFL season, had a promising start to his career, posting 42 receptions for nearly 700 yards during his rookie campaign. But he gradually fell down the depth chart, reaching the point where a trade was necessary to reignite his career.
As a low-risk move, the trade feels similar to the Will Davis acquisition: a young player with talent who needed a change of scenery to accrue playing time.
