AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

Matt Elam, S (Option Declined) – Coming off a Super Bowl title season the year before, the Ravens swung for the fences and came up just a few feet short with this one. It didn’t work with the Ravens, but another NFL team will likely sign him for 2017.

Cincinnati Bengals

Tyler Eifert, TE (Option Accepted) – If you have had Eifert on your fantasy football team in recent years, you know that the Bengals like to go to their big man on the end of the line for scores. At $4.8 million, he’s a steal even with the injury fear.

Cleveland Browns

Barkevious Mingo, LB (Option Declined) – The former LSU Tiger has more than underachieved in his time with the Browns (but, then again…who hasn’t) and will be shown the door following the 2016 season.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Jarvis Jones, LB (Option Declined) – When you are projected to be one of the next great players in the middle of the defense for one of the most tradition rich teams in the NFL, five sacks in three years just won’t cut it.
