Bernard Pollard

Safety Bernard Pollard said Thursday that he moving from the Super Bowl champion Ravens to the rebuilding Titans.

“Oh wow, I can’t say enough about Baltimore,” Pollard told ESPN. “They were great to me and my family. I will cherish that experience and the relationships I built with the people there for the rest of my life.”

The hard-hitting Pollard, 28, started 15 regular-season games and all four playoff games for the Ravens last season, his second in Baltimore. He made a key play in the AFC championship game against the Patriots when he knocked out running back Stevan Ridley and caused a fumble.

The news of Pollard’s departure comes one day after a report that longtime Ravens safety Ed Reed will join the Texans.
