Ravens Cap Room Doubled. Trade Talk Swirling, What’s Ozzie Newsome up to?
The reported restructured contract of cornerback Jimmy Smith essentially doubled the Ravens’ salary cap space.
Head Coach John Harbaugh said the team won’t be able to keep all of its talented defensive linemen, and expects the phone to start ringing from teams interested in a potential trade.
There’s chatter of negotiations “heating up” (see below) to reinforce the injury-riddled offensive line.
The climate is ripe for General Manager Ozzie Newsome to make a move.
“The Ravens doubled their cap space with this restructured deal and now have a little more than $10 million in cap room,” wrote ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.
