Could Ravens Add Veterans at These Two Positions?
With 10 of the Ravens’ 21 training camp practices in the books, The Baltimore Sun’s Brian Wacker analyzed each position group and looked at what questions still need to be answered.
One question was whether the Ravens have enough proven depth at tight end. Behind starter Mark Andrews and veteran blocking tight end Durham Smythe are fourth-round rookie Matt Hibner and fifth-round rookie Josh Cuevas.
“It would not be a surprise if the Ravens added a veteran to the room,” Wacker wrote. “There are a handful still available, including Darren Waller, though there are questions about his health given a litany of injuries last year. Baltimore could also look to add a veteran pass catcher who is jettisoned from another team on or before roster cutdown day Aug. 30.”
Other veteran tight ends still on the market include Jonnu Smith, Zach Ertz, and Will Dissly.
Wacker said the Ravens face a similar issue at outside linebacker.
“Beyond the top four (Trey Hendrickson, MIke Green, Tavius Robinson, second-round rookie Zion Young), there isn’t much depth or experience,” Wacker wrote. “Adisa Isaac, who suffered a dislocated elbow last season and was activated off the PUP list, continues to be a mystery. Will the Ravens look to add a rotational veteran pass rusher, as they have often done in the past?”
Haason Reddick, Von Miller, and former Raven Kyle Van Noy are among the top outside linebackers remaining in free agency.
