We previously wrote about Baltimore’s need to become salary cap compliant before Thursday’s season opener against the Chiefs. GM Eric DeCosta has several options at his disposal.
DeCosta used one on Monday, restructuring the contract of All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith, freeing up $3.65 million in salary cap space.
He did it again on Tuesday, restructuring All-Pro defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike.

Madubuike improved greatly in his fourth season with the Ravens. He led the team with 13 sacks, 33 quarterback hits, and 12 tackles for loss, which earned him his first Pro Bowl honor.
Madubuike had a breakout season in a contract year, setting himself up for a four-year, $98 million extension.
