The Baltimore Ravens made official what many speculated Saturday by releasing Earl Thomas after just one season with the team. The former first-round pick out of Texas played well in his lone campaign in Baltimore, amassing over 0.4 wins above replacement on 942 snaps, which was the fifth-highest mark of his career in a season and ranked in the top-20 at his position. His departure leaves the Ravens with Chuck Clark (0.29 WAR in 2019), Anthony Levine (0.03), Jordan Richards (0.01), DeShon Elliott (0.04) and late-round draft pick Geno Stone at the safety position.
