Tony Jefferson knew the score. He knew he had become a spare part with the Baltimore Ravens.
- The Ravens had let him go after the 2019 season, bringing him back for the second half of the 2021 season after the San Francisco 49ers let him go.
- The Ravens drafted safety Kyle Hamilton No. 14 overall and signed veteran safety Marcus Williams to a five-year, $70 million contract.
- Chuck Clark, a starter at free safety for Baltimore since 2019, wasn’t going anywhere.
There was, as they say, no room at the inn.
