S: Bernard Pollard Baltimore Ravens 2011-2012
Known for his bone crunching and fumble inducing hits, he was a bit of a liability in pass coverage. The Ravens were looking to go younger, faster, and cheaper. Pollard was a free agent at the end of the 2012 season and signed with the Tennessee Titans. He played the entire 2013 season with the Titans and was their starting safety in 2014 before being placed on IR with an Achilles tendon injury.
