Ravens Trade Rumor: Cowboys WR to Replace Odell Beckham Jr.

The Baltimore Ravens signed free agent Odell Beckham Jr. last offseason to help bolster their wide receiver corps before re-signing quarterback Lamar Jackson to a long-term deal.

Beckham was a disappointment on the field, catching just 35 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games played. The former LSU product earned roughly $16 million for that production, and he most likely won’t be back in 2024.

But the Ravens need a veteran presence opposite Zay Flowers, and Bleacher Report thinks Dallas Cowboys wideout Brandin Cooks might not only be available but could be a good fit in Baltimore.

2. Baltimore Ravens trade a 2024 fifth-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round pick (from the Jets, 226th overall) for Cooks and a 2024 seventh-round pick (242nd overall)

“Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was again the league MVP in 2023. He showed continued growth as a passer under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, though the arrival of Nelson Agholor, Odell Beckham Jr. and rookie Zay Flowers certainly helped too. Baltimore, though, could look to move on from Beckham. The 31-year-old will be a free agent next week, and he saw a reduced role in the offense late in the season.

“Cooks would be a logical replacement for Beckham in Baltimore’s lineup, given their similar skill set. His relatively reasonable salary could also benefit the Ravens, who have just $16.5 million in projected cap space.”

The Ravens are in “win now” mode, having just missed the Super Bowl last season by virtue of a 17-10 home loss to eventual champion Kansas City. They’re losing OBJ, who was a huge disappointment last season after earning $16 million for very little production.

Baltimore needs another veteran pass-catcher to play opposite Flowers, and Cooks could be the perfect fit.
