The Raven are in a win now mode and already invested heavily into their defensive line. When Ellerbe, Kruger, Mcphee, Jones, Osemele and T Smith were free agent The Ravens weren't in the situation they are in now. If they felt like Timmy Jernigan was going to take the next step then he wouldn't have been traded and if they didn't feel like they had in house candidates to replace his production then he wouldn't have been traded.If Jernigan fading at the end of the last year was just a one time thing then I would question the move more but it wasn't because he did the same thing in 2015. His snaps decreased last year as the season went on but his effectiveness continue to be inconsistent. I know he's in a contract year and that may give him extra motivation but his extra motivation should have been last year as well because he knew Brandon Williams was going to be a free agent and he could have made a strong case to The Ravens to give him extension instead of Williams. The Ravens pass rush sucked later on in the season and losing Jimmy Smith in games they needed him most didn't help either but Suggs was playing with one arm, Matt Judon was a rookie, Doom was coming off acl tear, and Timmy Jerigan was a player that saw his snaps reduced and still was ineffective.
