The Las Vegas Raiders endured a tough 15-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, extending their losing streak to ten games and falling to a 2-12 record for the season. Despite the disappointing year, safety Tre'von Moehrig has been a standout performer, starting all 14 games and earning an 84.9 run defense grade along with two interceptions, 24 defensive stops, and 86 tackles. Moehrig's strong performance is expected to earn him a lucrative contract in the upcoming free agency, and Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine suggests he could be a target for the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are looking to bolster their safety lineup, potentially pairing Moehrig with Kyle Hamilton for a formidable duo, as they have been unimpressed with current starters Marcus Williams and Ar'Darius Washington. The Raiders face a tough decision on whether to re-sign their reliable safety, but the Ravens present an enticing opportunity for Moehrig.
