Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. appears to be moving on from the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran wideout was already a free agent, but the possibility of him returning to Baltimore appears to be over. Beckham recently made a social media post thanking the fanbase of Baltimore. The 31-year-old is not the same receiver he was in his prime, but can still contribute at a high level. He has finished with over 500 receiving yards in each of his last two seasons. There should still be organizations out there looking to add a player of Beckham's caliber, but it seems his time in Baltimore is over.
The Baltimore Ravens are expected to sign free-agent backup quarterback Josh Johnson to an undisclosed one-year deal, according to a source. Johnson will return to the team for the fourth different time in his career. The 37-year-old journeyman signal-caller didn't appear in an NFL game at all in 2023 and attempted two passes in 2022 with the San Francisco 49ers. The former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 out of San Diego has been with seven different NFL organizations in his time in the league. With Tyler Huntley being a free agent, Johnson could compete with Malik Cunningham for the backup role to Lamar Jackson in 2024, but the Ravens could still re-sign Huntley or bring in another quarterback this offseason.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was officially released on Wednesday night with a post-June 1 designation. Beckham's dead money will spread over two years, while the Ravens won't see the salary cap relief until June 2. After signing a one-year, $15 million deal with Baltimore last offseason, the 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher disappointed with 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets in 14 regular-season games (six starts). The only real reliable pass-catchers in Baltimore were rookie Zay Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews. The Ravens could still re-sign OBJ, but if he were to return, he'd have a limited role behind Flowers, Andrews and Rashod Bateman in the passing game. Beckham should land with another team, but his days of being a big part of an offense are likely over.
The Baltimore Ravens are trading starting right tackle Morgan Moses and the No. 134 overall pick to the New York Jets in exchange for the No. 112 and No. 218 picks in the 2024 NFL draft. The 33-year-old veteran played for the Jets in 2021, and now he returns to help protect Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) in 2024. The Jets also agreed to terms with former Baltimore Ravens guard John Simpson earlier this week. Moses, a 2014 third-round pick, has played in 152 games with 144 career starts. Although he has never made a Pro Bowl or been named to an All-Pro team, he is viewed as an above-average starting tackle and should be a significant upgrade from last year's Jets' tackle. The team is prioritizing keeping Rodgers upright after he suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 last year, and they're likely just missing a starting left tackle to complete the rebuilt offensive line.
In another move to create salary cap savings this offseason, the Baltimore Ravens are releasing veteran outside linebacker Tyus Bowser (knee) on Wednesday, according to sources. The move will create around $5.5 million of salary cap space for 2024. The 28-year-old didn't play at all last year due to a knee injury and has played in just nine games for Baltimore in the last two years. Bowser has been a bust since the Ravens took him in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft out of Houston. In his six years played in the NFL, he has 152 tackles (93 solo), 19.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, 48 QB hits, four interceptions and a forced fumble in 89 games (23 starts). If Bowser can prove he's healthy and past his knee and Achilles issues, he could play a rotational role on defense with another team in 2024.
