ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler thinks George Pickens landing with the Baltimore Ravens is a real possibility this offseason. Pickens joining Lamar Jackson in Baltimore and playing the Pittsburgh Steelers twice a year would certainly be interesting.
“The Chiefs and Ravens both need a classic boundary receiver on the outside and could address that with one big move in free agency.
