Left tackle Bryant McKinnie said on Twitter on Tuesday that he's no longer with the Baltimore Ravens but later told NFL.com in a text that there still might be a chance he stays with the team.

He wrote: "Decision is made! I'm gone!" And when asked by the Baltimore Sun whether he was no longer on the team, he replied in a text message "yes," the newspaper reported.

However, he later told NFL.com in a text, "Not officially over yet just got a call." That followed a text to the website in which McKinnie said he was being released because "we couldn't come to an agreement on the restructure of my contract."

The Ravens haven't made an official announcement of any move regarding the offensive tackle.

The Ravens had been asking the 32-year-old McKinnie to take a pay cut from his $3.2 million base salary this season.

If McKinnie is released, Michael Oher would move to left tackle and rookie Kelechi Osemele would likely start at right tackle.

The 6-foot-8, 354-pound McKinnie had an average 2011 season and told team officials in March that he would get in better shape this year. A rocky offseason continued when the team kept him off the practice field for mandatory minicamp in June so he could focus on conditioning.

The Ravens picked up his $500,000 roster bonus in March after a face-to-face meeting in which he agreed to get in better shape.

McKinnie starred with Minnesota from 2002-2010 before the Vikings gave up on their former No. 1 draft pick last summer. McKinnie joined the Ravens on Aug. 24 of last year and started every game at left tackle -- considered by many to be the most important position on the offensive line.
