Baltimore Ravens Linked to $90 Million All-Pro to Fill Pressing Need.
The Baltimore Ravens have lost some significant pieces on defense during free agency this season, but could be primed ot land one of the best available defensive backs in hopes of closing the gap on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC.
Pro Football Focus believes former Miami Dolphins All-Pro Xavien Howard would be an ideal fit in the Ravens’ secondary.
“Howard was released after a great eight-year run in Miami,” Brad Spielberger writes for PFF. “With his coverage grades dipping into the 50s in each of the past two seasons. He has expressed a strong desire to play for a contender, and has even said he’d be open to taking less money to chase a ring. Pivoting to playing more man coverage could get him back to where he excelled earlier in his career”
Howard was released by the Dolphins prior to free agency, but is the caliber of player who can elevate an entire defense. Prior to falling victim to being a cap casualty, Howard had signed a five-year deal worth $90 million with the Dolphins prior to the 2022 season.
What Xavien Howard Would Bring Baltimore Ravens
A four-time Pro Bowler, and First-Team All-Pro selection in 2020, Howard would add a dominant veteran presence to the Ravens’ secondary.
