The Baltimore Ravens have made plenty of roster moves over the past few weeks. From trimming their roster to 53 players to adding veterans the team is trying to get better in every way they can and leaving no stone unturned.
On Tuesday, it was reported by Field Yates of ESPN that Baltimore restructured the contract of star offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley. The move frees $6.34875 million, increasing the Ravens’ cap space from around $8.9 million to around $15.3 million
The Ravens converted $8.465M of LT Ronnie Stanley's base salary into a signing bonus, creating $6.34875M in 2022 cap space, per source.

The Ravens had about $8.9 million in salary cap space before restructuring Ronnie Stanley’s deal, per the NFLPA.
Now it should be up to about $15.3 million. RB Kenyan Drake’s Raiders contract had offsets, so the Ravens’ new deal wouldn’t cut into their space that much.

Stanley signed a five-year, $98.75 million extension with Baltimore in the middle of the 2020 season, but suffered a horrific ankle injury just four days later. He’s played in just one game since the injury, and is looking to return to the field at some point after being removed from the PUP list late last week.
