If the Chargers don’t take a tight end, feel like Andrews could be headed their way day 2. A Harb-inger if you will.

NFL projects 2025 salary cap to rise to at least $277.5 million

NEWS: The NFL informed teams the salary cap is projected to rise in 2025 between the range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million per club this offseason.

Details:

3/ So, while the extra $5-9M in Cap space is very helpful, the Ravens still will need to create substantial Cap space via cuts/trades/extensions/restructures.

20.02.2025 14:14 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

2/ 🟣 Incentives adjustment - should be a negative adjustment of $2.5-3M.

⚫️ RFA Tender for A’Darius Washington - 2nd Rd Tender = $5.351M

🟣 Rule of 51 offset of $1.68M when Stanley’s & Agholor’s deals void (if not re-signed before).

These will eat up most of that Cap space.

With yesterday’s report that the Cap will be in the $277.5M-281.5M range, the Ravens are presently $12.7M under the Cap (using a $279.5M Cap). BUT, there are a lot of other factors that are still to come. 1/

Here it is, your Ravens offseason Cap preview. It’s a behemoth! The FO has a lot of work to do to get their Cap in order & their offseason - be it ext’s, restructures, trades, cuts - will revolve around 6 contracts (LJ8/Humphrey/Andrews/Roquan/Henry/Oweh).

Stanley’s a FA, so he can’t be released and his dead money has already been fully prorated.

If he’s cut, I would assume it will be with a post-June 1 designation (he & Williams would be their 2), but those can’t be used until after the start of the new league yr on March 12th. They can certainly announce that they are going to do so at any time. It just can’t officially be done til 3/12.

After 11 signings this wk, the Ravens Cap space is now down to just under $6M. They now have 53 players signed to 2025 contracts. This is just their position as of today. A lot will happen -cuts/signings/restructures/exts - between now & March 12 when the 2025 league yr begins.

24.01.2025 14:07 β€” πŸ‘ 7    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Per OTC & @ravenssalarycap.bsky.social on the other app, the Ravens have reduced his 2025 contract to $2.1m creating $9.9m in cap space now.
They'll cut him post June 1st & create $2.1m more cap space.

Writing has been on the wall that he'd be cut but this gives Ravens the cap space earlier.

Making the PB also has an effect on Flowers’ 5th yr option (if it gets that far). Flowers’ 5th yr option in 2027 will now be equal to the 2016 WR Transition tag. Another PB and it will bump up to the 2026 Franchise tag amount.

03.01.2025 14:51 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

This is the 2nd PB selection for both Hamilton & Linderbaum. This will push both of their 5th yr options (2026) to the 2025 Franchise tag level. Those would be approx $20M & $25M respectively. Both will be eligible for long-term extensions after Saturday night. 1/

4/ All of these incentives were categorized as Not Likely To Be Earned, so those earned will hit the Ravens Cap in 2025 as a negative adjustment (deduction).

3/ THE BIG ONE:

Ronnie Stanley will earn:

w/ 85% snaps (currently 98%) - $7.5M if elected to PB (original ballot, not alternate/replacement) or $8M if elected 1st team AP All-Pro

w/ 95% snaps - $8M if elected to PB (original ballot) or $10M if elected 1st team AP All-Pro

2/ POTENTIAL:
🟣 Humphrey - $250K Pro-Bowl
⚫️ Hill - needs 8 receptions or 117 receiving yards for $500K (concussion may well have ruined that chance)

1/ Ravens' incentives update:

EARNED:
🟣Henry has earned his max of $2M ($500K each for 1200 yds; 1500 yds; 13 TDs & 15TDs).
⚫️Van Noy - $500K ($250K each for 7 sacks + 50% PT; 10 sacks). Could earn $250K more each for 12 sacks & 14 sacks.
🟣 Mekari - $750K for 90% snaps
