11 Tackles / 8 Assists / 1 Sack . DE. Baltimore Ravens. CHRIS CANTY. D

Canty was supposed to be the veteran that showed the young guys the way, but the 11-year player from Virginia battled injuries for much of the season and was placed on injured reserve in mid-December.

He played in nine games this season, but you would not know it if you were watching the Ravens this season. Far too often he was ineffective in games and his only sack came in the Week One loss to the Broncos.

Canty has one more year on contract, but the Ravens could decide to move on from the 33-year old for cap reasons as he is due $2.9 million next season. Baltimore will have to make a decision quickly as he is scheduled for a roster bonus of $150,000 in March 9. Canty was a free agent after last season and it’s possible he’s available again this offseason.
