The Baltimore Ravens have a double issue with pending free agent fullback Kyle Juszczyk. For one, he’ll likely be looking for a contract that will make him the highest-paid fullback in the league, perhaps by quite a bit. Secondly, it appears as though he wants an expanded role on offense.

Juszczyk did an exceptional job during the 2017 NFL Pro Bowl. While only rushing three times for eight yards, Juszczyk made a major impact in the passing game, catching all five of his targets for 43 yards. He quickly became a major part of the AFC’s offense as the game wore on.

Though fullback isn’t as beloved a position as it used to be, several teams and coaches utilize the position in a unique way. A hybrid player now, fullbacks are often used as normal blockers, makeshift tight ends, additional running backs in short-yardage situations and pass catchers out of the backfield. Sadly for Juszczyk, the Ravens don’t entirely use him to his full advantage.

Rushing only five times for 22 yards and a touchdown in 2016, Juszczyk was passed over quite a bit. He did receive a good number of passes thrown his way with 49 targets, where he caught 37 for 266 yards, but he could improve on that with the right offense. Sadly, with five tight ends on the roster, two capable running backs and the draft coming up potentially adding more competition for those snaps, that role just might not be possible for Juszczyk in Baltimore.

Even if the Ravens can come up with the cash to make a seriously competitive offer, it might take more than that to have Juszczyk stick around. It might take an evolution of the offense to give him more snaps for him to stay in Baltimore.
