If there is one area of concern for the Baltimore Ravens, it would have to be their wide receiver position after trading fan-favorite receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown this offseason, but the organization made a move on Friday to sure up their wide receiving corps.
The Ravens have agreed to terms with former Kansas City Chiefs receiver Demarcus Robinson, who was released by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week after spending a majority of training camp with the organization. Insider Ian Rapoport reported the news, via Robinson’s agents, Katz Brothers Sports.
Robinson has spent the entirety of his NFL career with the Chiefs, where he was an underrated part of the Patrick Mahomes-led offense from 2016-2021.
His best season came in 2020 despite often being overshadowed by Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, where he recorded 45 receptions for 446 yards and three touchdowns.
While he may not seem like a player who could play a big impact on the Ravens roster, the signing will make him the oldest receiver on the Ravens roster at only 27 years old.
The current starting receivers on the roster for the Ravens are former first-round pick Rashod Bateman and third-year receiver Devin Duvernay, who both appear to be talented but largely unproven at the NFL level.
If Robinson can make the roster heading into the upcoming season, he could provide quarterback Lamar Jackson with a reliable receiving option that has experienced what it feels like to be in important postseason games in the past.
While Robinson alone likely won’t fill the void of losing Brown as their top wide receiver, he could certainly be a part of a wide receiver committee that can do so collectively this upcoming season.
