If it isn’t broke, why fix it? The Ravens might not be the top choice on this list, but they’re a choice to say the least.

Eric DeCosta has faith in Judon to be a talented pass rusher. According to reports from ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, Baltimore offered him a deal close to $66 million over the next four years. However, Judon has declined that comment which led to a further altercation.

The altercation with the reporter now puts Baltimore in a difficult place. Do they offer a contract to a player who has now brought a PR nightmare? Will the production match in 2021? Is Judon worth the money and the potential headache to have in the building?

This boils down to one thing; production. Judon was a part of a defense that finished middle of the pack in sacks for 2020. However, the defense helped Lamar Jackson when he was struggling to connect downfield. The least Baltimore can do is offer him a contract.
