OLB Matthew Judon
This is the Ravens player most likely to be traded this offseason if we’re being honest with ourselves. Though Baltimore clearly wants and desperately needs to keep Judon around given their lack of starter-quality talent at outside linebacker, a trade might be in everyone’s best interest here.
If the Ravens feel like Judon isn’t budging on his contract demands and they aren’t willing to pay him that, they’re kind of at a stalemate. Sure, the franchise tag exists but even if Judon plays on it, Baltimore is simply looking at the same exact problem next offseason albeit likely at a higher cost thanks to a new CBA potentially making the salary cap explode.
Getting a high-round draft pick or a combination of an outside linebacker and lower draft pick would make serious sense for the Ravens in that scenario. It’s not the perfect ending but it would give them enough cap space and draft equity to rebuild the position pretty quickly while letting Judon get paid, all while getting to choose where he winds up. That seems like a pretty big win for Baltimore considering the alternative.
