The Baltimore Ravens enter a very important offseason in 2022 as they look to keep up with an extremely talented AFC that is only getting better. They have a bit of cap space available at the moment, plenty of draft capital as well as players returning from injury to bolster their roster, so they have many avenues to upgrade positions of need.
When putting together a list of free agent fits for each AFC team, Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports paired up Baltimore with Seattle Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs. When explaining his choice, Kerr talked about how Diggs could be a great piece in Mike Macdonald’s defensive system.
“Mike Macdonald’s defense is going to be aggressive, so getting to the quarterback will be paramount. His scheme will also play to his players’ strengths in the secondary, which is where Diggs and his turnover-creating ability comes into play. Even if the pass rush doesn’t get home. having a player who has a knack for the ball like Diggs will be a major asset for a pass defense that finished last in the league in pass yards allowed.”
Diggs has totaled 493 tackles and 19 interceptions over the course of his seven-year NFL career, showing that he’s a rangy ballhawk type of player. He would fit in with what the Ravens are trying to do on defense, and he might not represent a player who would break the bank such as a few of the other players at his position slated to hit free agency.
