Ravens extend WR Willie Snead (1 year, $6M)

Probably reading way too far into this, but this might be a sign that Hayden Hurst will be traded soon. Hurst and Snead have too similar of a skillset and IMO the only way to get Hurst more opportunities is for Snead to see less. Though if Hurst is traded, Sneads value to us increases as a reliable third/fourth receiver option behind Brown and Andrews, while in a similar space as Boykin.

We’ll see though. Perhaps the team simply likes the offensive core entirely and don’t have plans to use it to upgrade the defensive pass rush in any manner. But we’ll see.

Unless of course this deal is more about guaranteeing the future team with more years of Sneads services upon a trade. But that doesn’t sound as likely.

Yea, pretty much reaction. His hands have been bad this year. He runs the same routes as our TEs (who can also block and win high passes) and isn't really fast enough to break big plays.

He's not a BAD player, so $6M isn't terrible to keep a slot guy. Doesn't seem like something he had to do now, unless the needed to shift some cash around.
