The hints were there.
Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey last month tweeted that Odell Beckham Jr. “looks like a Raven to me.” John Harbaugh said at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix two weeks ago — three days after signing free agent receiver Nelson Agholor — that Baltimore wasn’t done when it came to adding to that group. Then, incredibly, Beckham showed up the next day at the meetings to meet with multiple teams, including the Ravens, about his services.
Still, in the NFL offseason smoke often doesn’t mean fire, and the odds didn’t seem to be in Baltimore’s favor. The Ravens have little salary cap space and little history of splashy free agent receiver signings. Plus, Beckham was reportedly scheduled to meet with the New York Jets beginning Sunday night about the possibility of teaming up with Aaron Rodgers.
