2. Kenny Golladay best free agency fits – Baltimore Ravens

One of the more intriguing fits for Golladay is in Baltimore, where the Ravens could really use a top receiver to help Lamar Jackson take his game to the next level. Jackson has done well with a deep threat in Hollywood Brown and intermediate weapons like tight end Mark Andrews but one piece that Baltimore hasn’t given him is a true go-to-guy.

Golladay would fit nicely with Jackson, giving him a huge target with a massive catch radius to snare some of Jackson’s passes that may not be the most accurate. The Ravens’ offense would also be much more difficult to stop in the red zone with two big-bodied targets in Golladay and Andrews to complement a power running game.

The opportunity to win right away would surely appeal to Golladay, who is still looking to play in his first playoff game. Adding Golladay would make Baltimore the clear favorites to win the AFC North in 2021 and help make up ground on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC.

The question here is fitting Golladay under the salary cap, particularly when Baltimore has to figure out what to do with key defensive players like Matt Judon and Yannick Ngakoue. The Ravens aren’t super aggressive in free agency but have been known to strike when they have a player they want, which could certainly be Golladay this year.
