One thing the Baltimore Ravens have become great at over time is allowing pass rushers to leave in free agency. Just last year, both Za’Darius Smith and longtime great Terrell Suggs left in free agency. Both ended up in the conference championships, with Suggs’ team in the Super Bowl, while Smith will be participating in the Pro Bowl.
There were plenty of other pass rushers that they allowed to hit the open market as well, frequently receiving bigger salaries than they often proved to be worth. The latest could be Matthew Judon, who was the team’s leading pass-rusher last season.
