Twin Free Agent Running Backs Surprisingly Appeal to the Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have been anticipated to search the free agent market for their starting running back for the upcoming season since the beginning of the 2024 offseason.

The squad currently has some holes on the roster, but it hasn’t had a top-tier option at the position in a while.

They had been the betting favorite to sign Derrick Henry this offseason and are reportedly looking to add a big name at running back.

It appears that the Ravens may still be attempting to re-sign some recognizable players, even though all the signals point to a significant transition for the organization.

Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta stated during his NFL Combine press conference that the team is still in contact with Gus Edwards and would speak with J.K. Dobbins.

“Gus and I are still in contact. We had a few free agents that we’ll talk to, including J.K., DeCosta stated, per Baltimoreravens.com. “With those guys, we’re hoping to accomplish something.”

Dobbins and Edwards‘ NFL careers have gone in somewhat different directions.

After Edwards was not drafted in 2018, he was selected by the Ravens. They selected Dobbins in the second round of the 2020 draft.

Injuries have prevented Dobbins from ever living up to the hype surrounding

his draft selection since he was selected. In his four seasons in the league, he has only appeared in 23 games.

Edwards, on the other hand,

has developed into one of the league’s most trustworthy backup running backs.

Since the Ravens signed him,

he has been called upon multiple times and has always come through for them.

Despite never starting a season at the top of the team’s depth chart in his six seasons in the league,

Edwards has nevertheless amassed over 700 yards four times.

During the first five years of his career,

he also averaged more than five yards per run.
