Sad New: I Am Done Here Just Haveing A Days To Departure Ravens Coach John Harbaugh’Including….

Nelson Agholor did enough for the Ravens to earn a contract extension before NFL free agency begins.

The Baltimore Ravens announced Sunday night they signed the wide receiver for another year. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. ESPN’s Jamison Hensley reported Agholor had until 4 p.m. EST on Monday to sign to reach a deal with Baltimore, otherwise his contract would have been voided and he’d count for $1.668 million in dead money in 2024.

Prior to signing with Baltimore in 2023, Agholor spent two seasons with the New England Patriots. He played 31 games between 2021 and 2022 with 68 receptions. In 135 total games with the Ravens, Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and Las Vegas Raiders, Agholor has 375 receptions and 35 touchdowns.

While the 30-year-old’s numbers weren’t ones that jumped off the page, Agholor was reliable and only dropped two passes this season.

With Agholor signed, quarterback Lamar Jackson will have three of his top four receivers when the 2024 season begins. Odell Beckham Jr. is set to hit free agency when it begins next month.

The Ravens enter free agency after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game and look to get back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2013.

 

The Baltimore Ravens have a ton of pending free agents to address when the new league year starts March 13, one of which is star wideout Odell Beckham Jr. Will the Ravens re-sign Beckham after a $16 million payday last year that seems like a terrible overpayment? Or will they attempt to replace him through the draft or free agency?

Bleacher Report threw out the possibility that another free agent could replace OBJ in Baltimore, and he just played in the NFC Championship game this past season. Former Texas A&M Aggies wideout Josh Reynolds is one of the more overlooked pending free agents according to B/R, and might be a good fit in Baltimore to complement quarterback Lamar Jackson and soon-to-be second-year receiver Zay Flowers.

“At 6’3″ and 194 pounds, Reynolds has the length to grab deep balls over defenders, and he used that advantage to average 15.2 yards per reception with the Detroit Lions this season,” B/R wrote. “With Jameson Williams suspended for the first few games of the season, Reynolds emerged as the primary deep threat for an explosive Lions offense. “Reynolds has never been a leading man, but he’s been a successful contributor on multiple strong offenses, including the last two seasons with the Lions and the Los Angeles Rams from 2018-2020. “He’s the kind of signing that will probably be a minor blip in the news cycle in the spring but will play a crucial role for a team contending for the playoffs.”

There’s little doubt Reynolds has the skillset to be a good No. 2 behind Flowers in Baltimore, but the question really involves Flowers. himself. Will the former Boston College star suffer the dreaded “sophomore slump” or will he continue his rookie trajectory in Year 2 and be Jackson’s true No. 1 receiver?
