Ravens re-sign RFA LB Patrick Onwuasor

This is just a RGA tender signing, fully expected to happen.

But, he could be a big name to watch for a breakout season before true UFA next year. Smaller, fast new-age LB. He's been very active/disruptive as a rotational linebacker and should be in line full time reps with Mosley gone.

Has he ever started or is he a backup who now gets a shot to start?

He was technically a starter the last two seasons, starting in 12 last season and 13 in 2017. He's coming off his best statistical season with 5.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 interception. He'll probably stay on the field more with Mosley departing.

UDFA Safety the Ravens converted to LB. Super physical at the position for being a former DB too. Run-Cover-Blitz, the 3 areas modern off balls need to excel in- Onwuasor does. The light just came on for him in 2018, already a starter but he took his game to a new level. With the emergence of Kenny Young as well, the Ravens weren't handcuffed to CJ Mosley during negotiations. Don't sleep on the Peanut Punch.
