The Baltimore Ravens decided not to add any pieces at the NFL trade deadline, which was a rather peculiar move given that they still have a chance to make a run in the AFC North with Lamar Jackson now healthy.
Nevertheless, the Ravens chose to hold on to their draft capital, but that does not mean they won’t be major players during the offseason.

Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton thinks Baltimore could be in the hunt for a blockbuster trade after the season concludes, naming the Ravens the top potential destination for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.
“The Eagles are trying to become repeat champions. So, of course, with a 6-2 record, they would prefer to keep their No. 1 wide receiver, but [Howie] Roseman may be open to a deal in the offseason if Brown continues to express his frustrations with the offense,” Moton wrote. “… Brown will turn 29 in June, which is still the back-end prime of his career. Philadelphia should be able to command at least a first-rounder for him, assuming he’s healthy for the 2026 term.”
The question, of course, is whether or not Baltimore would actually be open to parting with a first-round pick for Brown, who may begin to show some signs of decline rather soon.
Brown has logged 29 catches for 395 yards and three touchdowns in seven games this season and has only caught 56.9 percent of his targets, although that certainly has a lot to do with Jalen Hurts not making good enough throws, particularly during the earlier stages of the campaign.
The Ole Miss product began his career with the Tennessee Titans back in 2019 and spent three seasons with the Titans before being traded to the Eagles in April 2022. He proceeded to post back-to-back 1,400-yard campaigns during his first two years in Philadelphia, and last season, he registered 1,079 yards in 13 games, averaging 16.1 yards per reception.

Brown remains one of the most dynamic weapons in football, which he proved back in Week 7 when he snared four balls for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings. He then missed Week 8 due to a hamstring injury, and Philadelphia had a bye in Week 9.
The Ravens already have Zay Flowers at the top of their wide receiver room, but putting Brown alongside of him would provide Baltimore with one of the most dynamic tandems in all of the NFL.
