Elam's NFL future is now in doubt after his arrest. The Ravens failed to pick up the safety's fifth-year option, which will make him a free agent in March. But the Ravens won't be one of the teams vying for his services once he hits free agency. The Ravens released a statement on Sunday which read, "We are aware of the arrest of Matt Elam. Matt is not in our plans for the 2017 Ravens."

Ryan Mink, who is a staff writer for the Baltimore Ravens, said the following, "He was only going to be a Raven for about two more weeks. the writing was on the wall. He's a guy that just hasn't worked out for a variety of reasons. I think the Ravens are saying, 'we're done with Matt… we're done here.'"

Elam played in nine games for the Ravens last season, recording just four tackles on the season.
