TIM JERNIGAN'S abrupt departure from the Baltimore Ravens earlier this week had nothing to do with any of the things people have been whispering about.
It had nothing to do with the 24-year-old defensive tackle's attitude or his motor or even the fact he went the last seven games of the 2016 season without a sack.
What it had everything to do with was the five-year, $52.5 million contract the Ravens gave their starting nose tackle, Brandon Williams, the day before free agency began.
As former Eagle defensive tackle Bennie Logan can attest, NFL teams might be willing to break the salary-cap bank for one really good interior defensive lineman, but not two.
