The Baltimore Ravens are in serious need of help in their secondary, which is why they have already been linked to multiple defensive backs in the lead up to the NFL trade deadline.
You can never have too many cornerbacks in today’s pass-heavy NFL, and free agent Marcus Peters is one of the best options left on the open market. While he’s not as reliable as guys like Stephon Gilmore or even Xaiven Howard, the three-time Pro Bowler can still play at a decent level.
VikingsTerritory’s Purple Rumor Mill is a two-day chronicle each week. All the week’s rumors are lassoed and plopped in two spots — articles on Saturday and Sunday — for review.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Akayleb Evans has missed back-to-back games with a calf injury, and the team owns a 6-6 record heading into a bye week. On the whole, the Vikings’ defense has played marvelously in the last two months, righting the ship after a rocky start in September.

The Las Vegas Raiders decided to end Marcus Peters’ tenure with the Silver and Black on Monday.
