7 potential cap casualties for the Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens could choose to cut any or all seven of these players in order to free up more room on their 2020 NFL salary cap.

I have left this one until the last as I believe there is a realistic chance that Yanda makes the decision for the Ravens and opts to retire. Yanda has contemplated retirement for the last few years but this could very well be the one where he decides to hang up his cleats for good.

Yanda has been nothing short of magnificent ever since the Ravens took him in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He started 166 of his 177 games, went to seven Pro Bowls and was named All-Pro twice following the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Yanda was still among the best at his position in 2019, with Baltimore averaging a stout 4.8 yards per rushing attempt when running behind his right guard spot. Yanda was also only called for one penalty all season long.

However, all good things must come to an end. While the Ravens would probably love to keep him around for the last year of his deal, the choice may ultimately be Yanda’s to make. Either way, if he is off the roster in 2020 the Ravens will save $7,000,000 in cap space.
