ExtremeRavens Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The Ravens signed wide receiver Nelson Agholor to a one-year extension Sunday, bringing back a durable veteran who gave them solid production in a reserve role last season. Agholor, who will turn 31 in May, played all 17 games, catching 35 passes on 45 targets for 381 yards and four touchdowns. He caught a touchdown pass in the Ravens’ divisional round playoff victory over the Houston Texans. The 2015 first-round draft pick has 375 catches for 4,627 yards and 35 touchdowns over nine NFL seasons. If the Ravens had not reached a deal with Agholor before 4 p.m. Monday, his contract would have voided, and he would have become a free agent. Instead, he’ll be a known quantity in a wide receiver room that’s projected to be led by 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman and 2023 first-round pick Zay Flowers. The Ravens now have to decide whether to seek an extension with their other veteran receiver from 2023, Odell Beckham Jr., or round out quarterback Lamar Jackson’s targets with a free agent or draft pick. General manager Eric DeCosta did not mention Agholor by name at his season-ending news conference but did allude to possibly bringing back at least one of the team’s pending free agent receivers. “We have a lot of guys that can make plays and, watching Zay this year and just picturing Zay and ‘Bate’ out there next year is very exciting, and we’ll see where that leads,” DeCosta said in assessing the position group. “We’ve also got the draft, and like I said, we’ll have conversations with our free agents, as well, and we’ve already started those conversations in some cases. So, I would expect the receiver room to be very strong next year and very productive.” View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
