The Baltimore Ravens were busy ahead of the NFL trade deadline this season, acquiring both wide receiver Diontae Johnson from the Carolina Panthers and cornerback Tre’Davious White from the Los Angeles Rams. It has been reported that the Ravens were in on other players, including cornerback Marshon Lattimore and defensive end Calais Campbell.
NFL Insider Albert Breer reported that Baltimore offered the New Orleans Saints a third-round pick for Lattimore but was outbid by the Washington Commanders in the end. Breer added that the Ravens had a deal to reunite with Campbell in a trade with the Miami Dolphins that ultimately fell through.

Campbell signed with the Dolphins this offseason, hoping to compete for a Super Bowl. Still, mainly due to a concussion sidelining quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for multiple games, Miami currently sits at 2-6. The Ravens have dealt with several injuries to the defensive line, with defensive tackle Michael Pierce going to injured reserve with a calf injury, defensive end Brent Urban missing several games with a concussion and defensive tackle Travis Jones dealing with an ankle injury that severely hindered his performance until recently.
Campbell, 38, is still playing at a high level for the Dolphins this season and would have been a solid addition to Baltimore’s pass rush, further helping to create opportunities for players such as defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike and outside linebackers Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy on passing downs.
