Ravens Named Potential Landing Spot for Odell Beckham Jr., Brandin Cooks
Baltimore has been identified as a potential destination for veteran wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandin Cooks.
Beckham, 33, has been reinstated after serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. He played for the Ravens in 2023, catching 35 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns. With the Miami Dolphins last season, Beckham had nine catches for 55 yards and no touchdowns in nine games.
“With Derrick Henry on the field, the Ravens are likely to continue focusing on a run-heavy offense, while Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins currently lead the receiver depth chart,” Bleacher Report’s Julia Stumbaugh wrote. “Given that Bateman is currently sidelined by a sprained ankle, the Ravens could potentially look to add some receiving depth in order to bolster their push for the playoffs.”
Cooks, 32, was granted his request to be released by the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday. He had 19 catches for 165 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games with the Saints this season.
“Baltimore will definitely want to limit how many running snaps Jackson takes as the season goes on, so adding a veteran receiver to the practice squad at least who can stretch the field would be a good move,” USA Today’s Cordy Woodroof wrote.
