Baltimore Ravens
· 2026-07-05
The Baltimore Ravens are considering signing 6-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen to boost their offense.
Baltimore stands 13th in the American Football Conference with a 5-12 record, on a W2 streak.
Keenan Allen's skillset as a big possession receiver would complement Zay Flowers, who is more of a big-play threat.
Allen's presence would also take pressure off rookie wideouts Elijah Sarratt and Ja'Kobi Lane.
The Ravens have had mixed results with signing veteran receivers, including Odell Beckham Jr. and DeAndre Hopkins.
However, Allen's ability to work the middle of the field and amass yards after the catch could make him a valuable asset.
The arrival of new head coach Jesse Minter, who saw Allen's abilities firsthand as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers, could also be a factor.
Allen's injury history is a concern, but he appeared in every game last season, which was the first time since 2021 he managed to complete a full campaign.
The 13-year pro's physicality and track record could still make him worth a one-year rental for the Ravens.
The Ravens face questions about their receiver group, particularly with Zay Flowers eligible for a contract extension but already making demands the team doesn't like.
The Ravens' next game is against the Indianapolis Colts on September 13, 2026.
With the team looking to strengthen their offense, signing a veteran receiver like Keenan Allen could be a key move.
And the Ravens will likely be watching Allen's health closely as they consider whether to make a move.
But for now, the team is focused on preparing for their upcoming game.
So the Ravens will have to weigh the potential benefits of signing Allen against the risks.
The team's mixed results with veteran receivers in the past will likely be a factor in their decision.
