The Baltimore Ravens have always been a top receiver short on offense.
Granted, Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry make up for that to an extent, but the Ravens need more help on the outside.
Zay Flowers is beginning to come on as a star in the league, but Baltimore lacks that true No. 1 weapon that defenses have to plan for.
As such, CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani has offered up A.J. Brown as a possible candidate to join the Ravens, with his Eagles future murky at best.
"With John Harbaugh out, could the Baltimore Ravens move differently this offseason? The franchise is looking for ways to "invigorate" star quarterback Lamar Jackson and find postseason success," Dajani writes. "Adding Brown can do both.
"Brown also has a relationship with star running back Derrick Henry from their Tennessee days."

Could Brown work in Baltimore?
Yes, he could, but much like Philadelphia, Baltimore is a run-first offense.
The difference is that Lamar is by far a better quarterback than Jalen Hurts, and we know that Jackson's ability as a passer has seriously improved.
The only thing would be if Brown is fine with having a handful of catches one week, but then hardly any the next if Henry gets rolling?
Plus, Brown's $29 million guaranteed salary for 2026, per Over The Cap, money could be a factor, too.
Brown with Lamar and Henry is a tantalizing trio, but there's a lot of water to go under the bridge for this to eventuate.
