If the Ravens have their way, Patrick Onwuasor will be back in Baltimore next season.
Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic tweets that the organization has resumed contract talks with the linebacker.
As Zrebiec notes, it appeared Onwuasor “was ready for a change of scenery last year.” The linebacker saw reduced playing time as the season went on, culminating in a reported “heated conversation” with head coach John Harbaugh during a December practice (via Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk.com).
Still, it’s not surprising that the Ravens value Onwuasor’s familiarity with the defense. The 27-year-old Onwuasor has spent his entire four-year career with the Ravens, and he combined for 25 starts between the 2017-18 seasons.
Onwuasor was slapped with a second-round restricted free-agent tender last offseason, but he was limited to only six starts in 14 games. He ultimately finished the season with 64 tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble.
