DT Brandon Williams
I’m not just going after all the Brandon’s, I assure you. But Williams, like Carr, is a name to watch in the next few weeks.
Williams is set to count $14.17 million against Baltimore’s cap in 2020. This number seems very high for a player who played on just 53.9% of the Ravens’ defensive snaps last season.
While Williams is a solid player who is the leader on the defensive line, he doesn’t produce on the stat sheet like his contract indicates he should. In his 97 games with the team, he has just 6.5 sacks, one of which came in 2019 along with two tackles for loss.
Cutting Williams would result in a sizeable dead cap charge of $9.84 million but ultimately save $4.33 million. I would imagine that Williams will be a player that the Ravens hope to persuade to take a haircut of his salary ahead of 2020. His current price is just too high for a part-time player without a big play pedigree.
