First-Round Bust Could Get Second Chance With Panthers, Ravens
Cornerback Kaiir Elam has not worked out in Buffalo, and the Bills could trade him after two disappointing seasons. A first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Elam was supposed to solidify a talented secondary and help Buffalo slow down the elite passing attacks of the AFC. Instead, the Florida product has failed to make an impact at the professional level. Injuries limited Elam to just three games last year, but his on-field tape leaves plenty to be desired. According to Pro Football Focus, he had a subpar 58.8 grade in 2023 and an equally underwhelming 56.7 grade in 2022.

The Orioles finally put the Trevor Rogers experiment on hold
Trevor Rogers made just four starts with the Orioles after Mike Elias acquired him at the trade deadline but it feels like he's been around for much longer than that. In total, Rogers allowed 15 runs in 19 innings with Baltimore, good for a 7.11 ERA to go along with miserable strikeout and walk rates. While Elias came out and told Orioles fans how excited he was to have acquired the young lefty, things have gone about as poorly as possible during his brief stint with the O's.
Ravens encouraged to cut ties with veteran wide receiver
It wouldn't be an overreaction to suggest the Baltimore Ravens could use reinforcements in the wide receiver room.

In an attempt to bolster the receiver room, the Ravens signed veteran receiver Russell Gage.

Peter Schmuck: Pondering the possibility of a playoff-free October for the Orioles
This is no time to panic, but only because it wouldn’t do any good at this troubling point in what was supposed to be a slam-dunk playoff season. The Orioles have all but run out of pitching and the pressure that has been placed on the young offensive lineup is palpable. Even Cy Young candidate Corbin Burnes suddenly looks as though he’s afraid to attack hitters mid-count and the club is making roster moves like it’s the last few days of spring training.
