The Ravens continue to seek wide receiver help, and their search has led them to a former AFC North foe. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Ravens are interested in adding veteran wideout Jarvis Landry (via NFL.com’s Grant Gordon).

The organization shocked many when they dealt top wideout Marquise Brown during the draft, leaving them with an inexperienced depth chart. The Ravens front office also passed on the wide receiver position during the draft, although they did recently add six undrafted wideouts to their roster. The team’s search also recently featured former Packers receiver Geronimo Allison, who auditioned for the organization last week.
At the moment, the Ravens’ non-rookie WR depth chart consists of Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay, James Proche, Tylan Wallace, Binjimen Victor, and Jaylon Moore. General manager Eric DeCosta recently said that the team “will add players to the mix” at wide receiver, so a move is likely coming.
Landry would be a logical fit if the organization is focused on adding a veteran to Lamar Jackson‘s receivers corps. The 29-year-old WR put up career-lows in receptions (52), yards (570) and touchdowns (two) across 12 games last season, but he’s only two years removed from a 2019 campaign where he collected 83 receptions for 1,174 yards en route to a Pro Bowl selection.
The 29-year-old wide receiver was released by the Browns in a cost-cutting move earlier this offseason. For some time, it seemed like Landry would land back in Cleveland, but a report from earlier today indicated that the door appears to be closed on a return to the Browns. The Saints were also connected earlier this offseason, but it’s uncertain if their first-round selection of Chris Olave has changed things.
Seems fine.
Was thinking this while watching them talk ab the Ravens on NFL live today, makes a lot of sense.
Considering Lamar Jackson is at his best throwing between the numbers, and that they have Andrews as one of the best and most productive TEs in the league, plus the other, big target TE they drafted, AND you also have to add their stable of RBs as weapons coming out of the backfield..
With all those combined weapons, I dont think the Ravens are nearly as bad off as most people tend to think they are…Still though, you cannot go wrong adding a vet like Jarvis Landry, the dude has some of the surest hands in the game, and he could help their younger wideouts tremendously..
If they add anyone, Landry would be the perfect compliment..OBJ or anyone else really isn’t necessary..
Joe Cool and The Chaser may have something to say about that. If not , Mixon, Higgins may. Should be a AFC North battle
He is going to be pissed when he realizes that Lamar won’t throw unless it’s his first read. That offense is where receivers go to retire..
such an original take not like Hollywood had a 1k yard season last year or anything
Such an original take.. why did Hollywood ask to be traded? Why did JuJu turn down more money to go back to Pittsburgh? Why did Kenny Golloday turn down more money from the ravens and signed with the giants? It’s funny how blatantly in denial ravens fans are. Bro, professional wide receivers see it. Why can’t you just be honest with yourself?
Jaylon Moore at 6’4″ and 311lbs is going to make one hell of a match up nightmare. I’d run him out and use him to make screens for other receivers. That or post him up on the goal line and box out line backers. Good luck trying to get around 311lbs to swat the ball away!
Unless its the wrong Jaylon Moore linked.

Yeah, the WR Jaylon Moore is 6-2″ 190, so still pretty large for a WR but yeah.
Another guy Lamar can overthrow by ten yards? Great!
