The Baltimore Ravens released LB Daryl Smith, general manager and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome announced Thursday afternoon. Newsome also said the team will not pick up an option for DE Chris Canty to return in 2016.
“While we are releasing Daryl, we are not closing the door on the possibility of him returning to the Ravens,” Newsome stated. “He deserves an opportunity to see his market value at this time. With ‘Buck,’ you’re talking about one of the NFL’s highest-quality people. We have been fortunate to have him with the Ravens, and his production has been outstanding.
