Ravens Free Agent Rumors: NFC North Powerhouse to Sign RB J.K. Dobbins?
The Baltimore Ravens are set to possibly lose their No. 1 and No. 2 running backs from last season. J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards will both hit free agency when the new league year starts on Wednesday if the team doesn't agree to a deal for one or both.
Both performed well in recent years, although Dobbins suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1 against the Texans, likely reducing his value on the open market this offseason. Edwards filled in nicely for Dobbins in his absence.
Bleacher Report predicted the possible landing spots for some free-agent running backs and thinks Dobbins is heading to Green Bay.
“Predicted Landing Spot: Green Bay Packers,” B/R predicted.
Dobbins going to another true contender like the Packers could revitalize his career while also getting another chance at the playoffs.
B/R explained, “Projected to earn just a shade over $2 million on his next contract, Dobbins will likely need to accept a “prove it” style deal from a team betting on his health. The Green Bay Packers could be the spot for Dobbins to rehabilitate his career, allowing him to back up Aaron Jones.”
The Packers surprised many this past season by making the playoffs and taking down the NFC's No. 2 seed Dallas Cowboys in their own stadium. Green Bay was also one of the youngest teams in the league.
The Ravens have been linked to some of the top running backs expected to hit free agency, such as Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, and Josh Jacobs.
