Overview
- Media outlets and analysts have urged the Ravens to sign a veteran wide receiver to give Lamar Jackson a reliable target and add size to the room.
- Keenan Allen is the most frequently mentioned candidate because he remains productive, logging 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns in 2025.
- The Ravens’ current depth beyond starters Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman is thin and untested, with recent rookies Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt and reserve players holding minimal career production.
- Commentators point to Baltimore’s history of bringing in older, effective receivers as precedent for targeting an established veteran rather than relying solely on rookie development.
- Significant uncertainty remains about Allen’s availability because other teams, including speculation the Los Angeles Chargers, could re‑sign him and no official move has been reported.
