Oh, this would be a little mean in a way. A year after trading Lewis to the New York Jets for a seventh-round pick, he’s set to hit free agency and could come back to Baltimore.

Though the Ravens ultimately traded Lewis because he wasn’t able to stay healthy or make a firm claim on the starting job in spite of opportunities, the change of scenery seemingly helped him. Lewis stepped into the starting role for New York after fellow former Ravens guard Kelechi Osemele got hurt and played fairly well.

In this scenario, Lewis wouldn’t be coming in as an immediate starter but as part of a competition for the starting job and as experienced depth. Baltimore knows what they’re getting with Lewis and he’s likely going to be pretty cheap to sign this offseason. Those are keywords that often lead to a team showing interest.
