9. Baltimore Ravens

How perfect would it be for the Baltimore Ravens to pick up a player released by the Steelers and then use him against them to beat them out for a spot in the playoffs?

It would only happen in the Ravens-Steelers rivalry, too, as if there wasn’t any bad blood between the teams already.

After the whole Ray Rice-NFL-Domestic Violence situation, the Ravens have had to make do at running back, rotating between Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce, and Lorenzo Taliaferro.

I don’t think it’s likely that the Ravens would cut one of their three running backs, but Blount could really improve their rushing attack.

Honestly, Blount is better than Pierce and Taliaferro, but you have to account for a learning curve and time to learn the offense. Blount isn’t going to the Ravens, but Baltimore could desperately use him to take some pressure off Joe Flacco.
