Ravens send Brown to Arizona

The Ravens have traded WR Marquise Brown and the 100th overall pick to Arizona for the 23rd pick in the NFL Draft. Brown lands in an offense with DeAndre Hopkins as the incumbent #1, but Hopkins showed signs of potentially slowing down in an injury-riddled 2021. Brown should slot in ahead of the remaining Cardinals WRs in targets. He heads into the 4th season of his rookie contract, with the 5th-year option lingering. We'll see about Baltimore's plans with the new Round 1 pick and the rest of this draft. Brown's departure certainly increases opportunity for Rashod Bateman, though.
