I hope he doesn't leave. I know he's not a flash player that everyone will say is a great signing but teams need players like this. He understands he is not going to be the next great d-back in Ravens history but he works hard on special teams and steps in when needed and stays out of trouble off the football field.

our coaches are horrendous, this guy was playing lights out in preseason yet we never saw him that much on the field, .

Agreed. I think it makes a lot more sense to try and retain Levine in lieu of an older player that offers the same. There are a few but I won't name names. Versatility also means he has a solid understanding of more than one position. ST alone is not enough to guarantee a roster spot but coupled with his versatility and his knack for making plays, he should be around come September.

Levine is a poor man's (older man's) Jabrill Peppers...a hybrid athlete who defies a single position designation. In this case, I think both he and Peppers are nice complementary guys, presuming you already have solid depth as safety and CB, which we do not. Of course, they should also be key special teams guys, which Levine certainly is.

It's a shame Levine never got enough chances at ILB. simply put. Levine is a great guy that I'd love to have back but if keeping him means we can't get someone else that can potentially start then bring someone who will

Ihave to agree with omar568. I saw Levine tearing it up in preseason. But then again there must be a reason hes not on the field. 109 snaps and only 7 tackles might be the reason.

I think Levine stays. He should be inexpensive, and he is very versatile, and one of the fastest guys on the defense.
