Baltimore Beatdown
C.J. Mosley nearly reunited with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring.
The Baltimore Ravens are on a quest for the Lombardi Trophy, with their latest moves indicating they’re all in. And yet, they nearly managed to add another star defender in former 2014 first-round pick C.J. Mosley.
According to WJZ’s Rick Ritter, Mosley was hoping for a reunion with the Ravens to close out his career, and the Ravens were interested. Unfortunately, he could not pass a physical due to a neck injury, which resulted in him retiring on June 19.
Arguably, the biggest weakness for the Ravens’ defensive roster is WILL linebacker. To have added Mosley, a star MIKE and have him paired with Roquan Smith would’ve been a surplus of riches, especially after the addition of cornerback Jaire Alexander.
Instead, the Ravens will continue with Smith, third-year linebacker Trenton Simpson and rookie Teddye Buchanan, a formidable unit that looks to lead the Ravens to the Super Bowl in 2025.
