The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best cornerbacks in the league in Marlon Humphrey, but his future with the team is in question.<\/p>\n

Humphrey, 28, should still be with the Ravens next season. However,\u00a0his contract may need some restructing<\/a>, according to Bleacher Report writer Kristopher Knox.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

“Humphrey also has just two years remaining on his contract and is set to carry a massive\u00a0$25.4 million\u00a0cap hit in 2025. Only Jackson is\u00a0set to count more\u00a0against the cap. Baltimore is highly unlikely to cut Humphrey, though doing so with a post-June 1 designation would save $14.3 million. A trade is also unlikely but something DeCosta might consider if desperate for cap relief and draft assets,” Knox writes.<\/p>\n

“Trading Humphrey at the start of free agency would save $8.7 million in cap space.<\/p>\n

“Most likely, the Ravens will decide between a simple restructure\u2014something they did with Humphrey in 2023\u2014a restructure\/extension and waiting to reassess Humphrey’s future in 2026. After this season, the dead money on his contract will fall to just $5.6 million.”<\/p>\n

Humphrey<\/a>\u00a0has two years left on his current deal with the Ravens, so the team will likely try to find a way to restructure, and they could maybe use that as a sign of good faith and re-negotiate a deal when the time comes.<\/p>\n

The Ravens have made moves to prepare for a future without Humphrey by drafting Nate Wiggins in the first round of last year’s draft, but the former first-round pick out of Alabama still has a ton of value for Baltimore.<\/p>\n

The way he plays this season will determine if he sticks around with the\u00a0Ravens<\/a>\u00a0for the rest of his career, and a restructured contract may give him the chip on his shoulder that he needs to remain one of the best cornerbacks in the league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
