Baltimore has one of the best offenses in the NFL. They drafted Zay Flowers this year and signed Odell Beckham Jr., adding to their roster of elite wide receivers. However, they didn’t stop there and have now signed another player to assist Lamar Jackson in achieving his promise of throwing over 6,000 yards.

The Ravens really want Lamar Jackson to succeed this season. Baltimore offered a lucrative contract extension to the quarterback earlier this year, but they know that he needs weapons to prove his value.

It has been reported that the Ravens could sign an elite wide receiver such as DeAndre Hopkins. However, since they are not pursuing a deal with the former Arizona Cardinals player yet, Baltimore is exploring other options available on the market.

Now, the AFC North squad has announced the arrival of a new target for Jackson. The Ravens agreed terms with Laquon Treadwell to a 1-year deal. He was selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings with the 23-overall pick, but left once his rookie contract ended.
