The Baltimore Ravens have long been after a stud receiver to pair with Lamar Jackson, and so far, that has led them to Zay Flowers.

A competent weapon, but many aren’t sure if he’s a true No.1 or if he’ll ever be.

But with Derrick Henry still rumbling, and Flowers along with Mark Andrews, Jackson still has some nice weapons, but there’s no difference-maker in the passing game.

Hence, why this offseason, some think the Ravens could go on the lookout for a weapon for Lamar.

One name that has popped up is Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown.

And ESPN’s Ben Solak, in his proposal, the Ravens send a 2027 second and fourth-round pick in exchange for Brown.

“One of the clear lessons of the Ravens’ 2025 season was that their current group of pass catchers is insufficient,” Solak wrote. “While they might not need to make a move this drastic, they would benefit from having a receiver with size and contested-catch ability — something quarterback Lamar Jackson has never enjoyed in his seven seasons.”

Would Brown work in Baltimore?

One thing we know about Brown is that he needs targets and catches. In fact, a lot of them.

With the Ravens having Henry in the backfield, many expect the offense to be run-heavy again, but the thing in Brown’s favor is that aside from Flowers, there aren’t others who will take targets away from him all too often.

Baltimore’s situation is similar to Philadelphia’s. A star back and another star receiver for Brown to compete with. But at least this time, he will be the No. 1 for the Ravens, and Flowers as a secondary weapon.

And if all it takes is two 2027 draft picks to get a trade done, I think Baltimore does it in a heartbeat.
