From Ravens beat writer, Mike Preston:
Monroe can insinuate that the Ravens want to get rid of him because of his advocacy for the use of medical marijuana, but that’s not the major reason. They no longer want him because he missed 17 of 34 games during the past 2 1/2 years, and had become one of the team’s most-disgruntled players.
It’s one thing when a head coach or members of the coaching staff question a player’s work ethic, but it’s really different when teammates start having the same thoughts.
Monroe has reached that point within the organization where head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Ozzie Newsome have to get him off the roster. If it wasn’t a knee injury then it was an ankle injury. If it wasn’t an ankle injury, then it was a shoulder injury.
The low point of Monroe’s time in Baltimore was during his first season in 2014 when he didn’t play in the divisional playoff game against New England because of an ankle injury even though he was active for the game. That’s when questions about his toughness first started to surface.
