Jeremy Fowler reports Ravens S Marcus Williams is preparing to be an unrestricted free agent with the “full expectation” that Baltimore will release him.
Fowler points out his contract restructure last month included a significant trigger date on March 13.
Williams and the Ravens reworked his contract in January. Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap noted the revised deal sets them up to use a post-June 1st designation on Williams.
Releasing Williams with a post-June 1 designation will free up $2,100,000 in cap space and create $6,723,000 in dead money, per OverTheCap.
Williams was benched last season and it appears his days in Baltimore are coming to an end.
Williams, 28, is a former second-round pick of the Saints back in 2017. He played out the final year of his four-year, $6.2 million contract with New Orleans before the Saints used the franchise tag on him.
Williams made $10.612 million fully guaranteed for the 2021 season and was once again testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent when he signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the Ravens.
In 2024, Williams appeared in 11 games for the Ravens and recorded 33 tackles, two passes defended and a fumble recovery.
