The Baltimore Ravens nearly traded Rashod Bateman before he signed his new contract, and he spoke about how those rumors felt and how he is ready to go in 2025.

With Bateman looking for a new deal and the Ravens digging their heels into the ground, the speedy pass-catcher was reportedly given permission to seek a trade, which led to a slew of suitors emerging. No such deal materialized, but according to Bateman, the Cowboys were in hot pursuit of him before he signed his new deal with Baltimore.
