Because Humphrey, in his prime, was a problem. And at 27 years old, he's not gotten to the age related wall yet (I typically put that at about 29 for DBs). He just hasn't been that guy in awhile.

Injuries, and most of em since he signed his extension in fall of 2020 (not as bad as what happened to Stanley though). And yes he was a legit top 5 CB he was also great at forcing fumbles (8 in the 2020 campaign). In 2021 he had a groin strain in camp that slowed him down a bit, then tore a pec late in the same season. This most recent season he had foot surgery in camp and missed the first 4 games of the season. On top of that he seems to always get dinged up in games and is usually showing up on the injury report. All of these injuries seem to have resulted in him losing a step. He single handidly almost cost the Ravens the game against the Rams as he was getting torched late in that one.
