After spending the last two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is on the move again, this time to the Baltimore Ravens.

Gage was one of the staples of the passing game as the Falcons transitioned from the Dan Quinn era to the Arthur Smith era. Gage posted career highs in targets, receptions and receiving yards in 2020, outpacing Julio Jones' 9-game total of 771 yards by 15 yards.

Gage's speed and instincts to get open make him a perfect complement to the verticality that receivers like Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers give the Ravens. He also was a reliable target, posting passer ratings of 95.6 and 86.7 in his final two seasons as a Falcon. While a torn patellar tendon ended his 2023 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he looks ready to return to form with the dynamic nature of a Lamar Jackson-Derrick Henry-led offense.
