Baltimore Ravens
Capped outBaltimore Ravens are carrying $38.7M in dead money this year — cap already spent on players no longer on the roster. They project $45.9M OVER the 2027 cap before signing a single player — restructures, extensions or cuts are required to get compliant. Real flexibility doesn't arrive until 2028 (projected +$60.0M), as current deals roll off. The decisions that shape it: Lamar Jackson ($84.3M), Roquan Smith ($32.7M), Nnamdi Madubuike ($30.4M) top the 2027 book.
