Early in 2020, the Baltimore Ravens were revamping their defensive line. On March 15, 2020, they traded for Calais Campbell by sending a fifth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars. A day later, they’d reportedly agreed to a deal with defensive lineman Michael Brockers on a three-year, $30 million deal. Nine days after the initial agreement, the Ravens backed out of the agreement.

During Super Bowl Radio Row, Brockers joined the Ryan Ripken Show and was asked about what happened.

Analyzing the pros and cons of trying to bring in one of the former All Pro NFC West wideouts on the chopping block.

With Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman both putting up career-best numbers in 2024, wide receiver is, at long last, no longer the most pressing need in the Ravens offense. Todd Monken’s heavy use of multiple tight ends makes wide receiver depth less important in Baltimore, but both Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace are set to hit free agency. As of now, the team’s WR3 is 2024 fourth-rounder Devontez Walker, who played all of 57 snaps on offense...
