Marlon Humphrey enters the fourth year of his\u00a05-year, $97.5 million contract extension. He is scheduled to earn a $14 million base salary and a $25,377,800 cap hit\u00a0in 2025, a $15.25 million base salary, and a $22.927 million cap hit in 2026. Since the Ravens would free up $9.689 million with a pre-June 1st cut, many considered Humphrey to be a cap casualty this offseason.<\/p>\n
