The Ravens have many needs as they head down the stretch toward a potentially deep playoff run.   The backup quarterback wasn’t the most pressing need, but things happened, and John Harbaugh wanted insurance for MVP candidate Lamar Jackson.

Adam Schefter reports that Baltimore is among the few teams that could sign Jones once he clears waivers.

Jones, who requested and received his release from the Giants on Friday, is expected to clear waivers on Monday at 4 p.m. ET. At that point, when he’s a free agent and allowed to talk to other teams, Jones should sign relatively quickly.

Jones was drafted with the No. 6 pick from the Duke Blue Devils in the 2019 NFL Draft. After earning a contract extension in 2022, his struggles have continued in his sixth season with the Giants organization. Through 10 games this season, he has thrown just eight touchdowns to seven interceptions with a 79.4 passer rating and 46.8 quarterback rating.
