15 biggest salary cap hits for the Ravens in 2024 after first wave of NFL free agency

With the second wave of free agency heating up and updated signings, we’re releasing the Ravens 15 biggest salary cap hits according to Over The Cap. 

Change is always good for the soul, and after a stunning loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game, Baltimore has undergone a dramatic reconstruction that could pay off with championship dividends.

Changes hit the defensive coaching staff as Mike Macdonald accepted the Seahawks head coaching job, Anthony Weaver became the defensive coordinator in Miami, and Zach Orr was promoted from inside linebackers coach to defensive coordinator.

Baltimore signed Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension. After inking Madubuike to a deal, Baltimore landed Derrick Henry for two years and $16 million.

However, the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses. Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere. Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move.

The Baltimore Ravens are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night in an AFC Wild Card showdown.  The Ravens and Bengals split the season series by winning one game each, with both teams coming out victorious at home.  Since the 2021 season, this matchup has been intense, starting to have the feel of a rivalry or sorts.

In preparation for the game, the Ravens made a four roster moves in signing defensive back Ar’Darius Washington from the practice squad to the active roster while moving wide receiver Tylan Wallace to injured reserve. They also elevated wide receivers Andy Isabella and Binjimen Victor from the practice squad.

 

The Ravens will need all the healthy bodies they can get to contain the high powered Bengals offense. The team needs depth at the receiver position and for special teams, and with Wallace being a big part of that unit, the team could use Isabella and Victor in his place.

The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up to take on the New York Giants in an important Week 6 matchup. There are plenty of storylines to look out for, including which players both teams will have available from a health perspective.

On Saturday, Baltimore used two standard practice squad elevations on players that will help fill needs for the team on Sunday in the Meadowlands in outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu and defensive back Ar’Darius Washington.

Washington signed with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in 2021, and was let go following final cuts in 2022 before re-signing with the team’s practice squad.
