The Baltimore Ravens have several impending free agents on both sides of the ball that were either starters or played significant roles last season. No team can retain all of their talented players because they can’t afford to keep them all in the salary cap era.
Successful teams that consistently make the playoffs, as the Ravens have for the last three years, have to make tough decisions in the construction of their rosters each year. They have to prioritize who they should and can keep at the right price and who they are willing to let walk and sign elsewhere or at least test the waters before attempting to re-sign them.
