The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of vested veteran S Tony Jefferson, executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta announced Friday.
In three seasons (2017-19) as a Raven, the seven-year veteran registered 174 tackles (120 solo), two interceptions, 3.5 sacks, 11 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 35 games (all starts). He appeared in the Ravens’ first four games of 2019 before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 5.
“This is the worst part of this business,” DeCosta stated. “Tony is the consummate teammate and someone who is respected by everyone for his leadership, determination, humility and toughness.
