LB Patrick Onwuasor
Onwuasor has shown flashes over his time with Baltimore which rightfully earned him a starting spot with Mosley leaving in free agency. However, Onwuasor wasn’t able to translate the opportunity into much, losing his mic’d helmet and eventually his starting role midway through the season.
Now with free agency quickly approaching, the Ravens have a difficult decision to make. Onwuasor hasn’t been very good this season and it isn’t wise to bet the defense on him improving as much as he’d need to in order to be the starting inside linebacker next season. If there’s little confidence Onwuasor can be the guy in Baltimore, he becomes a depth signing which is at a far smaller salary than he might be looking for.
If Onwuasor gets some interest in free agency and a chance to start for another team, the Ravens probably wouldn’t be able to match.
