The Baltimore Ravens are a team on the rise again in the NFL as the celebrated franchise has had a stellar offseason, with superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson signing a lucrative new long-term deal with the team, securing him and his future.
Few teams in the league were able to make more solid additions on the offensive side of the football than the Ravens, with Baltimore landing superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in NFL free agency and drafting wideout Zay Flowers from Boston College.
Although this offense looks like it could potentially be one of the best in the league, if not the best, Baltimore still has areas to address on the defensive side of the football in order to maintain a large lead. May be able to commit crimes on a weekly basis.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Ravens are bringing in former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dauwen Smoot for next week’s tour.

It can be difficult for an athlete in any sport to come back from a torn Achilles tendon, as most of the time the injury ends an athlete’s career.
However, over the years, some players in several sports have not seen a torn Achilles as a career-ending injury and have been able to make a comeback.
The Ravens are open to the idea of making Smoot one of those players because he is only 28 and has recorded 22.5 sacks to this point in his career and may be able to help the franchise.
