According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Baltimore Ravens have restructured left tackle Ronnie Stanley’s contract. The team converted $8.465 million in base salary into a signing bonus, freeing up $6.35 million in 2022 cap space.

According to OverTheCap.com’s Jason, the Ravens stood around $760k after practice squad estimates.

Based on where rosters stand right now the teams who should need to create cap space by next Tuesday (cap space includes PS estimates):

1. Giants: -$4.6M
2. Lions: -$2.6M
3. Jets: -$2.6M
4. Patriots: -$1.7M
5. Eagles: -$185K
6. Rams: -$22K
7. Ravens: $760K

This move generates much-needed cap space for the practice squad and regular season moves; Per Russell Street Report’s Brian McFarland, it was necessary.

This was somewhat unexpected, but necessary. With more guys going on IR & needing Cap space for PS (~$4M), PS elevations (~$900K), adding 52/53 to Cap (~$1.5M) & having funds for in-season injuries ($5M), the ~$9M they had b4 yesterday wasn’t enough. 1/ https://t.co/Ow8YuctfIh

McFarland also believes this move means the Ravens have given up on signin buffalo n Christian McCaffrey Jerseys fl shirt 6xlt g quarterback Lamar Jackson to a contract extension.

3/ This move also means that they’ve given up hope of reaching a deal w/ Lamar since an extension for a Lamar would have created this needed s NFL Mitchell & Ness pace and they would not have needed to restructure Stanley.

The restructure to Stanley’s deal does create a bit of concern if Stanley never fully recovers. McFarland notes the Ravens would be on the hook for $35 million in dead money in 2023 if he were to be cut, In 2024, it falls to a still-hefty $17.84 million.
