Former New England Patriots receiver Nelson Agholor has signed with the Baltimore Ravens, as the franchise adds a wide receiver which was heavily required.
Although Agholor can provide a decent contribution to the Ravens, he isn't the type of wide receiver that would excite the fans or make Lamar Jackson want to stay with the franchise.
Fans on social media think that Agholor's addition showed how unserious the Ravens are and it wouldn't be a surprise if Jackson ends up leaving the franchise. Here's how social media reacted to the Agholor signing:

As for Lamar Jackson, things haven't been looking positive for him. After being given the non-exclusive franchise tag, Jackson was eligible to sign with any team, but so far, there has been no interest in the Ravens quarterback.
As per various reports, the Ravens are likely to match any offer sheet that Jackson ends up singing with any other team, which is why the other franchises are not putting in the work to negotiate with the former NFL MVP.
Nelson Agholor's Ravens' contract breakdown
As per Adam Schefter, Agholor is signing a one-year deal worth $3.25 million with the Baltimore Ravens. This is a typical Ravens move by the franchise as they continue to ponder what will happen to Lamar Jackson in the near future.
With the addition of Nelson Agholor, the Ravens' WR depth chart looks like this:
- Rashod Bateman
- Nelson Agholor
- Tylan Wallace
- Shemar Bridges
The franchise has been linked to DeAndre Hopkins as well throughout the offseason. It will be interesting to see if they want to give away draft assets to land the Arizona Cardinals receiver.
