Unless you’re convinced that Nick Boyle is going to become the next Kellen Winslow then you must admit the Ravens have a need at tight end. Instead of acquiring a big blocker, the team could switch to more three or four wide receiver sets with Bryant taking Boyle’s spot on the field.

As it stands, Michael Crabtree is the only Ravens receiver who can provide Joe Flacco with a big target down the field. Willie Snead and John Brown can both stretch defenses vertically, but they give Flacco pretty small throwing windows down the field.

Flacco needs to find a way to become a more dynamic quarterback this year. If he doesn’t, Lamar Jackson is waiting in the wings to grab his starting spot. He should certainly advocate for as many weapons in the passing game as possible. Bryant may not be a difference maker, but he can be another piece to the Ravens’ puzzle.

Remember, Baltimore has already expressed interesting in bringing Bryant in. They’re clearly comfortable with his fit. Don’t be surprised if Bryant comes back to the team with a smaller contract demand as training camp gets closer.
