OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Eric Weddle was cut. C.J. Mosley didn't get the franchise tag. Terrell Suggs is headed to free agency for the first time in his career.
These three players have combined for 460 NFL starts and 17 Pro Bowls. Weddle, Mosley and Suggs also have teamed up to become the core leaders on the best defense in the NFL.
Suggs has been the face of the Baltimore Ravens defense for the past six seasons, taking over Ray Lewis' role in giving emotional pregame speeches. Weddle and Mosley were the defensive play-callers and helped put teammates in the right positions before the ball was snapped.
