That would be the case, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who said it had to do with the Ravens not wanting to take on the risk of what could be a knee that hasn't fully healed from meniscus repair.
Wild. Will another team take on that risk and see the reward in getting one of the game's best pass rushers?
That was back in January.
