I think I had read that somebody yesterday suggested there was no point in the Ravens putting in a "claim", which thinking more about it, makes sense. Some people on the "talking heads" radio show yesterday reacted to the Ravens not even putting in a claim, but its moot. When you're #32 on a list of 32 teams to put in claims, there's no point in claiming him. There's nobody behind you. That way he becomes a true FA if he goes unclaimed, and you can sign him for whatever you want, and aren't bound by whatever contract he's currently under.
I think a lot of people mistake the Ravens not putting in a claim as a sign they didn't want him. I don't think that's true.
