There was some hope the Baltimore Ravens could return linebacker Terrell Suggs after he was waived by the Arizona Cardinals. But being last on the waiver wire made it unlikely he’d last all the way until Baltimore. However, there was some hope Suggs wouldn’t report if another team snatched him up.
Sadly, that looks as though that won’t happen either after Suggs was claimed by the Kansas City Chiefs. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Suggs is expected to report and play for the Chiefs through the rest of the season and into the playoffs — a big blow for the Ravens and fans.
With Kansas City headed to the playoffs, we could end up seeing Baltimore take on their former outside linebacker for a second time this season. The Ravens held Suggs to just three combined tackles, no sacks or quarterback hits back in Week 2’s game against the Cardinals. But there’s no doubt the Chiefs are a far more formidable opponent.
This has left a salty taste in many Baltimore fans’ mouths who were hoping Suggs would simply sit out instead of helping one of the Ravens’ biggest postseason threats. But it’s hard to blame Suggs, who is likely looking for another Super Bowl ring and a chance to potentially retire on top of the NFL. It’s also not like Baltimore didn’t shortchange Suggs this offseason, with owner Steve Bisciotti saying he expected him to re-sign in spite of offering less money than Arizona did.
