What could the Ravens realistically trade Matthew Judon for this offseason?

Given the trades of last season, we have a pretty good idea what the Baltimore Ravens could get if they wanted to trade OLB Matthew Judon

Floor: 3rd-round pick

Going by that history, the floor on any Judon trade would be a third-round pick.

If that’s the best Baltimore ends up getting offered, it would make far more sense for the Ravens to simply hold on to him for the year and look to recoup a third-round pick via the compensatory formula in 2022 if he leaves next offseason. The Ravens have enough salary-cap space right now to eat Judon’s projected $16.27 million hit for the 2020 season, so they probably wouldn’t feel much pressure to make a trade happen solely for that reason.

Baltimore is right in the early stages of their Super Bowl window and Judon is a big part of that. Keeping him would maximize their potential this season and wouldn’t ultimately mean much of a bump up in draft capital in a scenario where he walks as a free agent next offseason.
