Diggs didn't join New England until late March last year, which means a deal may be on the horizon soon. According to Kristopher Knox from Bleacher Report, the Baltimore Ravens could be a great fit for Diggs. "Diggs would be a perfect addition for the Baltimore Ravens, who tried to roll with veteran DeAndre Hopkins last year but got underwhelming results (330 yards, 2 TDs)," Knox wrote on Saturday.
"Diggs would be a great go-to target for Lamar Jackson and a strong complement to Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. " Diggs has been in the NFL for 11 seasons, accumulating 11,504 receiving yards and 74 touchdowns across 161 games. However, he still doesn't have a Super Bowl ring.
He came close last season, finally making it to the big game, but the New England fell short against the Seattle Seahawks. The four-time Pro Bowl receiver may not have many seasons left in his football career, and joining the Ravens could be his best shot at clinching a Super Bowl while playing alongside Jackson, who is among the elite quarterbacks in the NFL.
