The Ravens haven’t been willing to match or exceed reasonable outside contract offers to keep a few of their own players. Maybe the allure of going back home was the deciding factor for Clowney, but the two-year, $20 million deal he got from the Carolina Panthers was not out of line with expectations following his 9 1/2-sack season with the Ravens. Given the team’s current outside linebacker depth chart and some of the struggles it’s had in trying to get immediate impact from young pass rushers, ponying up a little more to keep Clowney certainly had some merit.
