Antonio Brown is still a free agent, and one team that has been mentioned as a potential landing spot for the star wide receiver at some point is the Baltimore Ravens.
But those who are wishing Brown joins Lamar Jackson in Baltimore should probably temper their hopes. When asked about the possibility of adding Brown, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta instead raved about the current weapons his team has:
“I love Willie Snead and [Marquise] Hollywood Brown, and we drafted Miles Boykin last year,” DeCosta said during a conference call, via Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. “And I think that Chris Moore is one of the best special teams wide receivers in the league. We drafted Devin Duvernay this year [and] James Proche. We’ve got Jaleel Scott on the team. [He] competed for a spot. We’ve also got all these tight ends, and so, we think if you look at our team over the last two, three years, we’ve done a lot to address skill positions — targets for Lamar, guys that can make plays. We feel really, really good about that.”
DeCosta further doused any speculation about Brown joining the club by saying the Ravens “love the mix of personalities and players and the upside and leadership that we’ve got.”

The Ravens went 14-2 this past season and seemed to have great camaraderie throughout the year. As talented as Brown is, signing him could pose a threat to Baltimore's terrific locker-room situation, and I'm not sure DeCosta would want Brown around Jackson.
It looks like Brown will have to cross the Ravens off his list.
