If Lamar Jackson decides to return to the Baltimore Ravens this upcoming season, he'll have a new target, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., on offense. Something else that could excite Jackson and Baltimore fans is the puzzling comments made by Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.

Slay said he's heard that other players might want to play for Baltimore this upcoming season. Naturally, Ravens fans took to Twitter to react to Slay's comments, suggesting that a player like DeAndre Hopkins could be on his way there this offseason.

However, other fans claimed that either Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander or free agent wideout Jarvis Landry could be coming to the Ravens:

The Philadelphia Eagles star was on "The Volume" when he spoke about the Baltimore Ravens.

“I heard a lot of others news, but I’m gonna keep the news to myself that’s probably gonna wanna go over there too. I heard a lot of other stuff [about] other people wanting to go over there. But we’re gonna stay tuned.”

Odell Beckham Jr. joined the Ravens on a one-year deal worth up to $18 million with a $13.8 million signing bonus. Lamar Jackson, meanwhile, is seeking a long-term deal from the team.

However, it seems that the 2019 MVP and the three-time Pro Bowl receiver are already on the same page. The pair were seen in Miami at the LIV nightclub partying together:

If Darius Slay and his comments ring true, Baltimore general manager Eric DeCosta could be looking into acquiring DeAndre Hopkins from the Arizona Cardinals. Per reports, the Cardinals' asking price for Hopkins is a "second-round pick plus something of value."

This would likely mean that DeCosta would have to add a player for a possible trade with Arizona.


Could Lamar Jackson change his mind this offseason on a new deal?

Lamar Jackson has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and deserves to be compensated accordingly. The question now is whether the former Louisville Cardinals standout will accept the non-exclusive tag for the 2023 season.

The Ravens offense with Beckham Jr. might have a 1,000-yard receiver for the third time since 2018. In the 2021 season, both Mark Andrews (1,318 yards) and Marquise "Hollywood" Brown (1,008 yards) broke the mark.

Baltimore supporters will be watching to see if Lamar Jackson plays for them next season, as additional offensive weapons may be on the way.
