Everybody’s talking about the Baltimore Ravens right now.
Whether it’s because of Lamar Jackson’s months-long stand-off and contract situation or Odell Beckham Jr.’s signing, they’ve made sure to be all over the news in the offseason.
Notably, former NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski had a very interesting take on OBJ’s new deal.
While most people think that the Ravens vastly overpaid for his services, Gronk actually believes they got a bit of a bargain because of how good he was before that ACL tear, predicting that he’ll go off with Lamar Jackson and praising the team for finally doing right by the QB.

The legendary tight end also claimed that OBJ is going to be a nice fit for the city of Baltimore and that he expects him to be their No.1 guy right out of the gate.
Of course, having a guy like Beckham will always put you in a position to succeed and make things happen, especially with a former MVP under center.
But there are still some doubts about OBJ’s first-step and durability after suffering two major injuries on the same knee.
When healthy, few wideouts could be as impactful as OBJ, one of the most gifted athletes in the National Football League.
But he might be already past his prime.
Also, will that be enough to appease Jackson’s desire to leave after publicly revealing that he requested to be traded from the team?
