Baltimore internally considers Ellerbe the top priority among its impending free agents but has held off on negotiating until the team could get a clearer picture of what its cap situation would look like going forward. The Ravens cleared $6 million in cap space by trading Anquan Boldin on Monday to the San Francisco 49ers.

Ellerbe drew interest from teams employing both 3-4 and 4-3 fronts during the negotiating period over the weekend. If the Ravens and Ellerbe can't work out a deal by Tuesday at 4 p.m. EDT, he'll be free to sign with one of them.
