The Baltimore Ravens have been making moves to get below the NFL’s salary cap threshold after the team put the non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson. The team needs to be cap compliant by the time free agency rolls around, and Jackson’s $32 million cap hit means they need to free up money elsewhere.
In an effort to get below the NFL’s salary cap threshold ahead of free agency, the Ravens restructured the contract of defensive lineman Michael Pierce, saving close to $3 million. Pierce was lost for the year early in the 2022 season with an arm injury after playing well for the Baltimore defense.
