It appears they asked him to take a pay cut and he refused. He was scheduled to make $3.2 million this year and he needed it because he owes money for a lockout loan.
Now, he probably won’t be signed until after Week 1 when contracts aren’t guaranteed for the year.
Bryant McKinnie is due a $3.2 million base salary, but Ravens would ideally like to cut his pay.

Bryant McKinnie in a text to me when asked if he’s off the team: “Yes.”
