On Sunday night, the Baltimore Ravens agreed to a one-year deal with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., marking their biggest splash of free agency at their perceived biggest position of weakness.
Prior to this move, the Ravens had made only one external acquisition this offseason when they signed veteran wideout Nelson Agholor, also to a one-year contract. All of their other moves were re-signing incumbent free agents.
Earlier this offseason, Ravens’ general manager Eric DeCosta and Head Coach John Harbaugh claimed the team’s wide receiver room would be “revamped” come next season. Having now signed two free agents at the position, we’re beginning to see that take occur.
