Why Matt Elam is a Free Agent:

The Ravens decided to pass on his fifth-year option and did not re-sign him this off-season when his contract expired. Elam was suspended for one game in October 2015 for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

We can understand why. He may have left the streets but he is still very much a part of the streets. You can’t do that once you make it in the NFL.
