We have some drama cooking in the kitchens of the Baltimore Ravens after the general manager made some comments about the wide receiver group.
Rashod Bateman clearly did not appreciate it, as he called out Eric DeCosta in a now-deleted tweet.
The Ravens’ general manager was asked about the team’s struggle to draft wide receivers in the draft.
He responded with “If I had an answer, that would probably mean I would have some better receivers.”After that, Bateman called out DeCosta over his comment. Dov Kleiman shares the whole exchange.

One word describes this drama. Yikes! This is a horrible look for the Ravens no matter how you look at it.
Rashod Bateman mentions the team’s incapability to keep players healthy. He actually has a point there, as former Ravens’ receivers piled on the franchise after the strength coaches received an F- in the report cards revealed by the NFLPA.

Even Marquise Brown chimed in, backing Bateman’s statement.

Since then, the Ravens’ wide receiver has deleted his tweet and issued a short apology to Eric DeCosta.

Between Lamar Jackson’s contract situation and this new saga with Rashod Bateman, the Ravens are starting to look like a dumpster fire.
