Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor is set to run it back with the organization next season. The veteran wideout agreed on a one-year extension with the Ravens on Sunday. If not re-signed by Monday, Agholor was set to become a free agent this offseason. However, the Ravens have decided to bring back Agholor after a solid first season in Baltimore. The 30-year-old hauled in 35 receptions for 381 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. He should remain a useful option in this passing attack next season.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player for the second time in his career. Although Jackson still has been unable to find much success in the postseason, there's no doubt that he deserved his second MVP after what was a phenomenal 2023 season as a whole. The 27-year-old threw for a career-high 3,678 yards while throwing 24 touchdowns and only seven interceptions in 16 regular season games. He added 148 rushing attempts for an additional 821 rushing yards and five more touchdowns on the ground. After getting injured late in each of the last two seasons, Jackson stayed healthy all year and proved he's one of the league's elite dual threats under center.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is being investigated by Baltimore County Police for his involvement in alleged domestic violence. There are currently no details available on the exact nature of the domestic-violence claims, and Flowers hasn't been officially charged with a crime. This is a story we'll be watching closely this offseason, though, as it could lead to a suspension from the NFL, even if Flowers doesn't end up being charged with anything. The 23-year-old first-round pick from Boston College had a successful first year in the NFL in 2023 with 77 catches on 108 targets for 858 yards and five touchdowns in the regular season as quarterback Lamar Jackson's go-to target after tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) was injured in Week 11.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman will be a starter in 2024 and will be playing a lot of snaps. Harbaugh said Bateman has become a "great, great route-runner. Rashod Bateman has a great future." The former first-rounder's numbers weren't very great in his third year in the NFL in 2023, as he caught just 32 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets in 16 regular-season games. Rookie first-rounder Zay Flowers became quarterback Lamar Jackson's top target once tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) went down with an injury in Week 11. But even before then, the 24-year-old Bateman had taken a back seat to Flowers and was even overshadowed by Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor at times. Despite Harbaugh's words, Bateman has an uphill battle to climb for an expanded role as long as Flowers and Andrews stay healthy in 2024.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews made his long-awaited return in the AFC Championship game after being sidelined since Week 11. He was on a snap count, so it was going to be difficult to post a big game. Andrews ended the game with two catches for 15 yards on two targets. He only posted one other game with fewer than four targets, and that was the game he was injured in against the Cincinnati Bengals. The former All-Pro played in the fewest games of his career this season so that translated to career lows in a lot of the receiving categories. Two years still remain on his contract, so he'll have an off-season to get his ankle stronger and get back to All-Pro form. He'll remain a higher-end draft target next season as well.
