Ravens salary cap breakdown entering Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season

The salary cap will exceed a record high of $224 million in 2023, and where things currently stand, Baltimore needs to cut salaries, according to Over The Cap.

During the 2023 NFL free agency period, the Ravens quietly made some noise, inking Odell Beckham Jr., Nelson AgholorGeno Stone, and Justice Hill to deals throughout the spring.

For some teams, the slight increase in cap space provides a little breathing room to retain players on expiring deals or acquire talent that could help them succeed in the upcoming season.

With the season opener fast approaching, here’s an updated look at Baltimore’s salary cap space.
