Ravens impending 2016 free agents that shouldn’t be resigned

Courtney Upshaw
It’s pretty safe to say at this point that Upshaw isn’t the next contract year superstar. Hyped up in the offseason as a Pernell McPhee replacement, Upshaw currently ranks as the 132nd best edge defender in the NFL out of 149 players.
The owner of 3 sacks coming into 2015, Upshaw has zero through 6 games this season despite getting opportunities as a situational pass rusher. He’s been pretty good setting the edge as a run defender, but Upshaw is merely a replacement player who isn’t worth a big contract at this stage of his career.
Next: Cheers and jeers for week 6
