After the first five weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens have a record of 3-2. Following an initial 0-2 start, their ability to secure three consecutive victories has been significant.
In Week 5, they faced a serious challenge against their AFC North rival, the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite a few costly errors, the Ravens managed to pull off a 41-38 overtime victory.
However, Baltimore could benefit from additional offensive strength, which has sparked considerable trade speculation as the November 5th trade deadline approaches.
One suggested wide receiver target has been identified as a logical option for the Ravens.
Baltimore Ravens Urged To Pursue Intriguing Trade with Giants
“The Ravens’ passing game currently relies heavily on Zay Flowers, Justice Hill, and Isaiah Likely. With Lamar Jackson at the helm, Baltimore has a unique dynamic that allows them to forgo the wide receiver depth typical of other teams. However, adding another dynamic playmaker to the passing attack would be beneficial. Darius Slayton, an underrated speedster, could provide a dangerous deep threat in their vertical play-action scheme.”
Slayton has been considered a potential trade asset over the past couple of years. If the Ravens see wide receiver as a position of need but prefer not to invest heavily in a top-tier option, Slayton would be an economical choice.
So far in the 2024 NFL season, Slayton has recorded 18 receptions for 244 yards and one touchdown, proving to be a productive target for the Giants.
Equipping Lamar Jackson with as many weapons as possible is always a smart strategy. Slayton could be the player to elevate the Ravens’ offense.
Ultimately, it will be intriguing to see how Baltimore approaches the trade deadline. While Slayton may not end up being their target, he would undoubtedly be a strong addition to the Ravens.
