The Ravens have signed free agent linebacker Josh Bynes, Baltimore announced today.
Fresh off an embarrassing defensive performance against the Browns in Week 4, Baltimore is revamping its linebacker corps. Earlier this week, the Ravens agreed to terms with veteran L.J. Fort, and now they’ve added Bynes, who spent the first three years of his career in Baltimore after entering the league as an undrafted free agent.
Bynes, 30, joined the Lions after leaving Baltimore and subsequently spent 2017-18 with the Cardinals. Last season, Bynes started 11 games in the desert while posting 75 tackles and two interceptions. Among qualifiers, Bynes graded as the NFL’s 14th-best linebacker, per Pro Football Focus.
Thus far, Patrick Onwuasor and Kenny Young have seen the majority of the Ravens’ snaps at inside linebacker, but it’s possible one or both will see their playing time reduced given Baltimore’s recent additions. both Onwuasor and Young rank among the bottom-quarter of PFF’s linebacker grades.
He’s a reliable tackler and would be a solid depth piece to there line backer core don’t know how he waited this long
If Bynes rated so decently why is he not already employed?
And it was NEVER apparent at OTA’s, Training Camp, and Preseason that the LB corps was not measuring up ?
Where were the LB Coach, Defensive Coordinator, Head Coach and the General Manager ??
I’m shocked Bynes was available.
Not shocked he was not re-signed by the Cardinals. Steve Keim and the rest of the joke front office probably had a happy hour to make it to instead of a appointment to re sign him. Or anyone else for that matter.
