Owings Mills, MD (SportsNetwork.com) – The Baltimore Ravens have cut ties with defensive end Chris Canty, terminating the veteran’s contract on Friday.<\/p>\n
Canty had one year remaining on a three-year contract he signed in 2013. The move, according to reports, will save the Ravens $2.6 million on the salary cap. He could still return on a lesser deal.<\/p>\n
“We certainly would not close the door to Chris coming back to us,” said Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome on the team’s website.<\/p>\n
Canty spent two seasons in Baltimore after playing four years with the New York Giants and four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. He was a Super Bowl champion with the Giants in 2011 and had considered retirement after this season concluded.<\/p>\n
“I am going to continue to prepare to play again,” said Canty. “I also want to thank Ravens fans. They embraced me immediately, and I embraced them back.”<\/p>\n
The 10-year veteran had 33 tackles and a half-sack last season. He has 21 1\/2 sacks with 335 tackles in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
