Analyst believes Ravens could fill a need by trading for Raiders' Johnathan Abram

When the Baltimore Ravens placed safety Marcus Williams on injured reserve, the team faced a tough ask in trying to replace such a key cog in its defensive backfield.

And while Geno Stone has been a solid fill-in, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox believes Baltimore could find a more capable replacement on the trade market in Las Vegas Raiders safety Johnathan Abram.

“Abram could interest teams looking for a back-end defender,” Knox wrote. “… He'd be a great fit for the Baltimore Ravens, who lost starting safety Marcus Williams to a dislocated wrist this month. Baltimore has only $3M in cap space, but that would be enough to add Abram.”

Stone has filled in admirably, totaling 26 tackles, a pass breakup, a forced fumble and fumble recovery, and he's allowing a completion percentage of just 57.1% in three starts. Baltimore also has rookie safety Kyle Hamilton, who's come on strong in recent weeks.
