Baltimore Ravens – Le’Veon Bell

Adding a diva like Bell may not fit the usual operating procedure for the Ravens, but it may be time to really change things up in Baltimore. Building an offense around Lamar Jackson at quarterback is going to require some unconventional thinking. Putting a dynamic player like Bell behind him in the backfield would give opposing defenses a lot to think about.

Remember, a big part of Bell’s success with the Steelers came about due to his ability to catch passes out of the backfield. Jackson could benefit massively from having a guy he can dump the ball off to who can turn short throws into long touchdowns.

If you don’t think the Ravens need to add offensive talent this offseason, you need to go back and look at their struggles to move the ball with any consistency against the Chargers. Bell probably doesn’t win that game for Baltimore, but there’s no debate he changes its complexion significantly.

The only question here is how much cash the Ravens would need to shell out to make this dream a reality. A big money deal is fine, but it shouldn’t be a long-term contract. Adding Bell to the mix for two or three seasons would really give Baltimore a chance to find out what they have at quarterback.
