The Ravens know when to let players walk. There’s a long list of draft picks who thrive in their system, signed lucrative deals elsewhere, and never live up to the expectations that came along with their bloated contracts.
Arthur Jones is the most recent example. Since signing a five-year $33 million dollar contract with the Colts, he’s played in nine games in two seasons. He’ll miss the first four games of 2016 after being suspended for PEDs.
Of course, some players continue to thrive, and the Ravens miss their presence.
