Ravens Free Agency Rumors: Sign Former Rival Steelers WR?

With Odell Beckham Jr. writing his goodbye to the Baltimore Ravens, the organization's need for a wide receiver has become a glaring one.

Zay Flowers' pristine rookie season was excellent, but Baltimore needs more reliable pass catchers if they are going to compete with other teams in their conference like the Chiefs, Bills, and Bengals. Luckily, despite the market drying up quickly at the position, the Ravens are in a strong position to find good value in free agency.

While the top name in Mike Williams may be headed elsewhere, there are still value receivers that fit what the organization is looking to do on offense.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Allen Robinson could be that guy.

The 10-year veteran is officially available after being released by the Steelers on March 8. The one-time Pro Bowler is coming off the worst season of his career after being under-utilized by Pittsburgh's anemic offense last year.

Although appearing in all 17 games for the Steelers last season, Robinson caught just 34 passes for 280 yards and no touchdowns. That could possibly be attributed to the sub-par quarterback play Pittsburgh received from Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett.

Robinson is a big body at 6-2, 220-pounds and could be the right addition to quarterback Lamar Jackson's passing arsenal.
