The Facts: According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Ravens have struck a deal with Wallace.
Diehards Line:
Apparently not convinced that last year's first-round pick Breshad Perriman is an immediate lock to fill their need for a deep threat, Wallace comes on board capable of that -- although he failed to deliver in that regard in Minnesota. He was released by the Vikings a week ago after tying or setting career lows in catches (39), receiving yards (473) and touchdowns (two). Meanwhile, as ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley suggests, Baltimore will give Wallace the most chances to run straight down the field, which is what he does best. In Joe Flacco's first seven seasons (2008-2014), he threw 108 passes that traveled 40 yards or more in the air. That's 20 more than any other quarterback over that span. Flacco completed 28 of them (only Drew Brees had more). Last season, Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater attempted four such passes. He connected on none of them. ... It is a difference. We'll see if Wallace can maximize the opportunity.
