Remember when wide receivers and skill players didn’t want to play in Baltimore?
It wasn’t that long ago that the narrative around the Ravens was frustratingly consistent. Offensive talent, especially top-tier wideouts, steered clear of Charm City. The perception was that Baltimore’s run-heavy scheme, anchored by a dual-threat quarterback, wasn’t built to showcase receivers. Each offseason brought headlines speculating that free agent wideouts were passing on Baltimore in favor of more pass-friendly systems.
Fast forward just a few years, and the shift has been dramatic. Now, not only are veterans choosing to come to Baltimore, but some are doing it for less money, fewer targets, and a shot at a championship.
