The Baltimore Ravens will be under pressure in Jesse Minter's first year as head coach, with playoffs the bare minimum to achieve in 2026.

In truth, Minter was hired to bring a Super Bowl to Baltimore, but doing so as a first-timer is tough.

But with Lamar Jackson in attendance at the voluntary workouts, things are off to a good start in 2026, but what if they could get even better?

NFL.com's Matt Okada has named the Ravens as a potential landing spot for receiver A.J. Brown, with the Ravens sending a 2026 first-round and third-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles.

"Over the course of his career, Lamar Jackson has done most of his damage without a prototypical WR1,” Okada wrote. “Both Flowers and Rashod Bateman are decently productive players, but they are better suited as WR2s behind a true “X” ... like A.J. Brown.

"Brown would be the best receiver Jackson has played with to date and upgrade the role played by DJ Moore role in Doyle's offense in Chicago."

Ravens getting Brown ideal for Lamar

We know how potent the run game is for the Ravens with Derrick Henry, but the passing attack has always left a little to be desired.

Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews loom as the two key weapons for Lamar, along with Rashod Bateman, but none are true No. 1 weapons. Brown is.

It would take the passing game to another level in 2026 and make the Ravens' offense a more difficult threat to stop.

Yes, the terms are a little pricey, but Baltimore would be getting a huge weapon for Jackson, in what is a defining year for the franchise.
