Free agent LB LB Brendon Ayanbadejo doesn't believe his outspoken support for marriage equality played a part in his release from the Ravens. "I'm totally cool with them," Ayanbadejo said. "I'm a Raven for life." Ayanbadejo also said the "groundwork" is being laid for as many as four players to come out at the same time. "We're in talks with a handful of players who are considering it. ... It would make a major splash and take the pressure off one guy. It would be a monumental day if a handful or a few guys come out."

Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome didn't rule out re-signing LB Brendon Ayanbadejo. Ayanbadejo was released by Baltimore on Wednesday. If the soon-to-be 37-year-old doesn't get a look elsewhere before training camp, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the special teams ace back at the veteran's minimum.

Ravens released LB Brendon Ayanbadejo. Ayanbadejo has been a core special teamer for the Ravens since 2008, but his $940,000 salary was expensive for a player who's going on 37 and played just 173 snaps on defense last season. Ayanbadejo's experience should net him a look elsewhere.

The Carroll County Times says LB Brendon Ayanbadejo could be a cap casualty. Ayanbadejo is due just a $940,000 base salary in 2013, but with Baltimore right up against the cap, every penny counts. The 36-year-old has been a mainstay on special teams, but his play has dipped as he's aged.
