Breaking: Ravens Blow Up Their Offense: Superstar Traded in Stunning Move to Free Cap Space
The Baltimore Ravens are red hot heading into the AFC playoffs and are a true contender to compete for a Lombardi trophy this season.
With the addition of Derrick Henry in the offseason, Todd Monken has been able to architect the top offense in the NFL, averaging 429.4 yards per game with 65 touchdowns on the year.
Jackson is playing at an elite level — and is a serious candidate to earn his second-straight MVP award — as he’s thriving as a passer and a runner, putting up ridiculous numbers along the way.
Heading into the postseason, Jackson has thrown for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and just four interceptions with a QB rating of 119.6. He’s added another 915 yards and four touchdowns with his legs as a runner.
There’s no overstating the value of Henry to the Ravens offense. Opposing defenses now have to account for both Jackson and Henry as running threats in the backfield, which opens up massive opportunities in the passing game.
While he won’t play in the Ravens first playoff game against the Steelers, Zay Flowers has emerged as a true No. 1 WR and earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. Rashad Bateman is a reliable No. 2 wideout, while the tight end duo of Isiah Likely and Mark Andrews creates mismatches for defenses.
But while Andrews has been one of the top tight ends in the league in recent years, Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine believes the Ravens should consider trading him this offseason to free up cap space for 2025.
