Vic Beasley

It’s been a sobering few seasons for Beasley after he led the NFL in sacks as a sophomore. He followed up his 4-sack rookie season of 2015 with 15.5 in 2016, forcing a league-high six fumbles, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Beasley was named All-Pro for the season.

Things haven’t gone as swimmingly since, however. His last three seasons have seen him amass 18 sacks combined, although eight of them came this past year. 2019 also saw him force two fumbles, 66% of his total tally since 2016. Beasley has switched between defensive end and outside linebacker and back again during his time with the Falcons, a time that came to an end when the team announced they would be letting him test free agency this year.

Beasley will be 28 when the 2020 season begins and he seems to have some gas left in the tank. He is unlikely to command market-setting money, although he’s not going to play for pennies. But that works to Baltimore’s end. Beasley fits the billing as a potential bargain player the Ravens absolutely love to pick up in free agency.
