Was not expecting this. But I can see why with the money reasons. Good player but his play did seem to drop off last season...along with the rest of the defense. Be interesting to see what direction they go now. This LB corps needs some love.

Would he fit in a 3-4 as a WILB? Ravens need to look at guys who can cover well and if he can fit, may be a decent stopgap.

Always like Boley, but don't think he'd be a good pick up for the Pats, he's a good coverage LBer but I think he'd want to be a starter too, so with Mayo, Spikes and Hightower, I don't think we could afford him or entice him to come to Foxboro

At this point he's a stopgap player.

I don't expect to see him get a big paycheck from anyone else. But I'd imagine he's still serviceable.

He was really, really good for the Falcons the last year he was here. Back then was by far our best LB. If he's anywhere close to what he was then, a team will pick him up and have a pretty decent LB to work with.

Had problems with injuries this year, maybe Giants know something...

A good Giant, but he can't cover anymore.
