The offseason is the time of dreams. Fans dream about their favorite team adding that one player who’s going to bring it to glory. Gregg Rosenthal, editor of “Around the NFL” on NFL.com, wrote about a dream free agent each team could sign. In the article, he has the Ravens signing New England Patriots cornerback Logan Ryan.

While that certainly would serve a need — filling a hole at cornerback — it isn’t the best signing Baltimore could make. There is a free agent who would be far more attractive to the Ravens: Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.

If we’re doing dream scenarios, Jeffery is the playmaker Ravens fans have always wanted. He’s an excellent deep threat. He knows how to go up and get the ball. If Baltimore added Jeffery to a wide receiver corps that includes Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman, things could get scary for opposing defenses and Joe Flacco would have no shortage of deep threats.

Despite nagging injuries throughout his five-year career, Jeffery has managed to account for 4,549 yards and 26 touchdowns in just 63 games played. At his best, Jeffery posted up 1,421 yards and seven touchdowns on 89 receptions for the Bears in 2013.

Other impressive free agent hauls could be cornerback Trumaine Johnson, safety Eric Berry or even pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul.

But this is just a dream scenario. Jeffery is the best receiver hitting the market and will ask for more money than the Ravens can give. Baltimore will have to settle for a lesser receiver at a cheaper price or hope to find one in the draft.
