BALTIMORE — The Ravens’ first notable free-agent addition this offseason addressed their biggest need.
Desperate for help at wide receiver, the Ravens finally added their first player from outside the organization Friday, agreeing to a deal with veteran Nelson Agholor. The one-year contract is worth $3.25 million and includes another $3 million in incentives, according to multiple reports.
Agholor, who will turn 30 in May, gives Baltimore and quarterback Lamar Jackson a much-needed deep threat after spending the past two seasons with the New England Patriots, where he started 20 games and caught 68 passes for 835 yards and five touchdowns. Over his past eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, then-Oakland Raiders and Patriots, he caught 31 touchdown passes.
