The Baltimore Ravens added plenty of receiving help in the 2021 offseason, signing Sammy Watkins while also selecting Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace in the draft. However, despite adding that talent, they have been linked to another pass catcher in Atlanta star wideout Julio Jones.
While there’s no doubt that Jones would make Baltimore’s offense better, there are a few things that stand in the way of a deal, including money and draft capital. When asked by a fan if the Ravens got Jones, Josina Anderson reported that her understanding is that Baltimore likes the young core of receivers that they already have on their roster and that Jones isn’t on their radar “at the moment”.
My understanding is Baltimore likes the young core of receivers they have. This is not on the radar, at the moment. A number of intriguing possibilities out there for Julio, but enjoy your memorial weekends. Relax. https://t.co/e0V3pteO55

The Jones to the Ravens rumors have been nonstop over the past week, but maybe this report will quell them a bit. Baltimore believes in who they’ve brought in already, and even though Jones is still one of the best receivers in the NFL, it seems like for now at least, the Ravens will believe in the receivers that they already have on the team.
