From a pure speculation standpoint, it makes sense. Wide receiver is a position of need for the Ravens and Green could be one of the most enticing options available.
So let's look at the pros and cons.
Since coming into the league in 2011, Green has been one of the NFL's top wide receivers. He's totaled 8,907 career receiving yards and 82 touchdowns, including six 1,000-yard seasons.
"Green is a proven player that has good hands, runs effective routes and can get behind a defense or catch intermediate passes to move the chains," Sports Illustrated's Todd Karpovich wrote. "At 6-foot-4, 210-pounds, Green is also a big target inside the red zone, an area where the Ravens already thrived last season."
John Harbaugh told reporters that the Ravens have a "feel" for the kind of wide receiver they want to add. Seth Roberts is the only receiver not under contract through next season and adding a possession receiver like Green fills a void that Baltimore lacks.
Spotrac projects Green to receive a two-year, $18.2 million deal, similar to recent contracts that Julian Edelman, Emmanuel Sanders, Larry Fitzgerald, and DeSean Jackson have signed.
That's not a deal that would break the bank, but Green's recent injury history poses concerns. Green missed all of last season with an ankle injury and was limited to just nine games the year before, when he finished with 46 catches for 496 yards and six touchdowns.
"Green will turn 32 in July and is on the backend of his career," Karpovich wrote, "but could still be an effective playmaker if he stays healthy."
Bradshaw sees Green's health concerns as a potential benefit for the Ravens in negotiations.
"The biggest gripe people will have here is that Green can't stay healthy anymore," Bradshaw wrote. "This is a major concern, but it could be a blessing in disguise, as the Ravens could get him on a cheaper deal or even a one-year 'prove it' contract. The signing could be a low-risk, high-reward if the situation presents itself that way."
If you remember, the Ravens took a chance on John Brown after he was plagued by injuries with the Arizona Cardinals following the 2017 season. The risk paid off and Brown revived his career in Baltimore.
However, Bradshaw and Karpovich both agreed the Ravens should think carefully if they do pursue Green.
"The biggest thing here for the Ravens is to not splurge to sign Green," Bradshaw added. "If his market value is too high, he isn't worth the risk. But, for the right deal, he'd make an excellent addition to this offense and give Jackson a target at any spot on the field."
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller also reported that Green could land in New England – alongside Tom Brady.
