What's Happening?
The Baltimore Ravens have waived Jahmal Banks, an undrafted free agent wide receiver, as part of their roster cutdown process. Banks joined the Ravens in April and participated in three preseason games, catching his only target for six yards. During the second exhibition game, he was flagged for offensive pass interference, negating a potential touchdown catch. Despite his efforts, Banks did not secure a position on the Ravens' final roster.
Why It's Important?
Banks' release is a reminder of the intense competition and difficult decisions teams face during roster cutdowns. For the Ravens, the move reflects their strategic choices in building a team capable of competing in the regular season. Banks' experience highlights the challenges undrafted players encounter in securing a spot on an NFL team. His future in the league will depend on his ability to attract interest from other teams and potentially join a practice squad.

If he clears waivers, he could join a practice squad, providing him with an opportunity to continue developing his skills and potentially earn a call-up during the season. The Ravens will focus on their finalized roster as they prepare for the regular season.
