OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Cornerback Tavon Young gave the Baltimore Ravens some much-needed salary cap space by restructuring his contract for this year and taking a $2.85 million pay cut in 2021, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.
This agreement also increases the chances of the often-injured Young remaining with the team next season. He's only played one full game since signing his three-year, $25.8 million extension before the 2019 season, which made him the highest-paid nickelback at the time.
The Ravens converted $2.514 million of his base salary for 2020 into a signing bonus.
