The Ravens released wide receiver Miles Boykin on Monday, parting ways after a quiet three years in Baltimore.
Boykin, a third-round pick in 2019, was coming off the most disappointing season of his NFL career and had a $2.8 million salary cap hit this year. Releasing Boykin, who was the subject of offseason trade rumors, saves the cap-strapped Ravens about $2.5 million in cap space.
The 6-foot-4 Boykin, the team’s best blocking wide receiver and a special teams standout, showed his promise as a rookie, when he had 13 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns in a run-heavy offense. But he finished with just 266 yards and four touchdowns in 2020, and his catch rate (57.6%) was the lowest of any Ravens player with at least 10 receptions.
