In lieu of Zay Flowers, the Ravens require an experienced player, and according to Bleacher Report, wide receiver Brandin Cooks of the Dallas Cowboys may not only be available but also a solid match in Baltimore.
The Baltimore Ravens re-signed quarterback Lamar Jackson to a long-term contract after adding free agency Odell Beckham Jr. to strengthen their wide out group.
In just 14 games, Beckham caught 35 catches for 565 yards and three scores, making him a disappointment on the field. For such production, the former LSU standout made almost $16 million, and it’s unlikely he’ll be back in 2024.
However, the Ravens need a seasoned player to complement Zay Flowers, and according to Bleacher Report, wide receiver Brandin Cooks of the Dallas Cowboys would not only be available but also a solid match in Baltimore.
Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Ravens, won the MVP award in 2023 once more. Under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, he continued to improve as a passer, while rookie Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr., and Nelson Agholor’s presence undoubtedly also had an impact. However, Baltimore might try to forget about Beckham. The 31-year-old saw his role in the offense cut late in the season, and he will become a free agency next week.
“Considering their comparable skill sets, Cooks would make sense as Beckham’s replacement in Baltimore’s starting lineup. The Ravens, who are slated to have just $16.5 million in cap space, may also profit from his comparatively modest contract.”
The Ravens, who narrowly missed the Super Bowl the previous season due to a 17-10 home loss to eventual winner Kansas City, are in a “win now” attitude. They are losing OBJ, who made $16 million for relatively little output last season and was a major disappointment.
Cooks might be the ideal replacement for Flowers as Baltimore needs a seasoned pass-catcher.
