The Baltimore Ravens are staring down a brand new era, with a whole new head coach stepping in after John Harbaugh bounced to the Giants. The biggest move they could make before Week 1 is still hanging out there. We’re talking about getting Lamar Jackson the weapons he *desperately* needs if this team is ever gonna get over the hump and finally play in a Super Bowl. The roster looks good, sure, but Jackson clearly needs more firepower. A four-time Pro Bowler receiver is still a free agent right now and would fit perfectly. This isn’t a maybe, this is a *must-do* for Baltimore.
Lamar Needs A Go-To Guy, And Fast
A new coaching staff means shaking things up to reach the promised land. Lamar Jackson hasn’t hit a Super Bowl yet; that’s the absolute goal. With a new head coach and Declan Doyle as first-time play-caller, they need a reliable veteran presence. Moe Moton of Bleacher Report identified eight crucial roster moves before Week 1, and signing Stefon Diggs was key. It’s about necessity, not luxury. Mark Andrews, the tight end, is entering his age-31 campaign, so Baltimore needs another consistent pass-catcher to move chains. Diggs could perfectly complement two-time Pro Bowler Zay Flowers, potentially giving Jackson his best receiver room ever.
Diggs Is Still Producing, Period.
Forget what you think you know, Diggs is still balling. In 2025, he played all 17 games for the New England Patriots, reeling in 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. That’s his seventh season with over 1,000 receiving yards, showing consistency. He even helped lead the Patriots to the Super Bowl! The dude believes he’s the best No. 2 receiver, and frankly, with an 83.3 percent catch rate, he’s got the numbers. Even averaging fewer than 12 yards per reception over three straight terms, that high catch rate tells you he’s still a possession wizard. The Patriots cut him and traded for A.J. Brown, which feels wild considering what Diggs still brings. Their loss is the Ravens’ gain if they play this right.
The Money Is There, The Opportunity Is Now
This isn’t some pie-in-the-sky dream; it’s completely doable. Spotrac projects Diggs to land a two-year deal, probably around $13 million. The Ravens have around $17 million in cap space! They have the cash. They have the need. Diggs is from the DMV area, which could definitely make him interested in coming home and playing for a contender. This isn’t just a good idea; it’s a slam-dunk scenario. For Lamar Jackson to take that next step and for this “new era” to actually mean something, the Ravens need to pounce. Week 1 is coming fast, and this move could define their entire season before it even kicks off. What are they waiting for?
