Baltimore Ravens Face Offseason Challenges, Need for Offensive Playmakers Highlighted

Cap Space Constraints and Free Agency Dilemmas Could Push Ravens to Seek Upgrades in 2024 Draft

The Baltimore Ravens' loss in the AFC Championship game to the Kansas City Chiefs highlighted the need for more offensive playmakers to support quarterback Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens are facing a challenging offseason with a projected cap space of $5.6 million and a long list of free agents, including key players like Justin Madubuike, Patrick Queen, and Gus Edwards.
Despite the cap constraints, the Ravens are advised to find a top-tier running back and at least one other pass-catcher who can regularly generate separation.
The 2024 draft may be a more feasible option for the Ravens to make necessary upgrades, with prospects like LSU receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and Florida State running back Trey Benson as potential targets.
Retaining the same roster for the 2024 season is unlikely due to cap space limitations and the number of key contributors slated to hit the open market.
