Free-agent receiver Wallace reportedly set to visit Ravens

Looking to add more speed to their passing game, the Ravens continue to look at free-agent wide receiver Mike Wallace.
According to Sports Illustrated, the 29-year-old will visit the Ravens on Monday and remains an option at the right price. Wallace was cut by the Minnesota Vikings last week after the worst season of his seven-year career in which he caught just 39 passes for 473 yards and two touchdowns.
Since leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers after the 2012 season, Wallace hasn’t been the same receiver who posted back-to-back 1,100-yard seasons in 2010 and 2011, but he’s also played with quarterbacks in Miami’s Ryan Tannehill and Minnesota’s Teddy Bridgewater who lacked the arm strength to take full advantage of his speed. That wouldn’t figure to be an issue playing with the strong-armed Joe Flacco, who acknowledged at the end of last season that he wouldn’t mind seeing the Ravens copy Pittsburgh’s approach of having multiple vertical threats.
The Ravens would like to add another speed receiver to go along with 2015 first-round pick Breshad Perriman, who missed his entire rookie season with a partially-torn posterior cruicate ligament in his right knee. Perriman had yet to be fully cleared as of last month, and the Ravens cannot afford to put all hope for their vertical passing game in a receiver who has yet to complete a full-contact practice at the NFL level.
According to CBS Sports, Baltimore is also interested in three-time Pro Bowl safety Eric Weddle, who had spent his entire career with the San Diego Chargers before becoming an unrestricted free agent last week.
