The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson haven't had the season they wanted to have.
The wide receivers are a bit too one-dimensional and predictable. For the Ravens to get back in a good direction in 2026, they probably need a WR upgrade.
One name that was just floated on Wednesday by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler: George Pickens.
Pickens is currently playing out the last year of his contract with the Dallas Cowboys after they got him in a trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He's been a star this season, although he came under fire after the Cowboys' most recent game for some poor effort on various snaps.
The Cowboys will have to decide what to do with Pickens this offseason, with the $28 million franchise tag being one possibility.
But if Pickens hits the open market, the Ravens could be in play.
"If available, the Ravens could use some of their $40 million in 2026 cap space on Pickens, knowing John Harbaugh is good at managing big personalities," Fowler wrote.

Baltimore isn't yet looking ahead to free agency, of course. The Ravens are hoping for a strong finish to catch the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North and make the postseason.
But they'll have to do some looking in the mirror this offseason, regardless, and one spot that will clearly call for an upgrade is WR.
Pickens would qualify as an upgrade, and it'd also be a chance to come back and play against the Steelers, which he would likely relish.
