The Ravens released WR Miles Boykin today. He had two very promising seasons on 2019 and 2020. But according to Ravens sources, he "didn't fit the offense well" in 2021 and in their future plans.

At 6'4 and 220 lbs. and possessing promising talent, he could fill a valuable role in Miami's new offense. Plus, he wouldn't be an expensive signing.

Agree? Disagree? Let me know.

I'd kick the tires.

He looks good, I wonder what the problem was tho for them to just cut him.

Me too. He was viewed as an up and coming player. There may be more to his release behind the scenes, but if he checks out physically, mentally, and legally, I'm all for giving him another shot.

Not much production in all likelihood. His athletic measurables were very good at the combine but maybe he just can’t run routes well enough. Just 25…

Quite possibly. He might not have worked hard enough the last few years and thought he could rely on his physical ability (6'4, 220 lbs., 4.4 40 YDD).

He went to Notre Dame, so he's not stupid. Maybe this was the wake up call he needed to learn that physic ability alone won't cut it.
 
Sounds like injuries did a number to him last year

  • Ravens released WR Miles Boykin.​

    The move saves the Ravens $2.5 million in cap space. Baltimore was reportedly attempting to trade Boykin prior to his release. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't a market for a receiver coming off a one-catch season that saw him appear in eight games. Finger and hamstring issues kept him off the field for the other nine outings of the season. Boykin posted impressive numbers at the combine but has failed to make much of his upper-echelon athleticism since entering the league three years ago. It won't take long for him to become a reclamation project for another team.

I didn't know about his injury issues last year. The Ravens must not have been very confident in a 100% rehabilitation to release him.
 
Why? We are stacked at wideout. No reason to waste more cap on the position. He’s be competing for the 4th spot and he’s not better than a healthy Preston Williams or as versatile as Bowden. All 3 have injury history’s and we have the 2 or the 3 that are the two best when healthy.
 
No one replaces Mack Hollins!

The best 6th receiver who gets bumped up to starter, who makes that catch from Fitz. You can't replace that.....

oh, as an everyday player/ special teamer......I think that is what Sherfield is

A healthy Preston Williams has yet to be seen on this team. Bowden is good and definitely has a place on the team, but he's not the physical, big-bodied WR. We have a lot of small receivers on the team, but can use a big, strong, fast WR and, if healthy, Boykin is just that.
 
I would have no prblem bringing Boykin in to compete with Preston Williams. I doubt his contract demands would be much considering the number of wrs that will be on the market later this summer and the number or rookie prospects avaialable in the draft.
