JULY 26: Maulet’s deal is worth up to $2MM, per Wolfe, who notes the contract will contain a $220K guarantee (Twitter link). The deal is now official.
JULY 24: Not long after the news of one of their former starting corners departing, the Ravens are set to make an addition at the position. Arthur Maulet is nearing an agreement with Baltimore, per NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe (Twitter link). 
The Ravens showed little interest in bringing back Marcus Peters this offseason, and the veteran ballhawk has joined the Raiders. Baltimore replaced Peters on the boundary by signing Rock Ya-Sin to a one-year deal, and he is expected to start opposite All-Pro Marlon Humphrey. The team’s corner depth has faced questions beyond that pair, however.
The starting slot role and depth positions on the boundary were poised to be filled by relatively unexperienced players prior to today’s news. The Ravens used Day 3 picks on Jalyn Armour-Davis and Damarion Williams last year, doing so again in 2023 with fifth-rounder Kyu Blu Kelly. That trio will be joined in training camp by former waiver claim Trayvon Mullen, veterans Daryl Worley and Kevon Seymour, as well as versatile backs Brandon Stephens and Ar’Darius Washington.
Maulet, 30, will provide much more experience than many of the aforementioned names. He logged eight starts across the past two seasons, both spent with the Steelers. Pittsburgh elected to move on from him in May, however, making him one of several veterans on the lookout for a new opportunity deep into July. It was recently learned that he was drawing interest from a number teams on the eve of training camps starting.
It was not the Ravens, but rather the Bears and Jaguars who were named as suitors for Maulet, who has spent notable time in the slot during his career. Presuming this Baltimore agreement goes through without issue, though, he will remain in the AFC North and fill a notable gap in the team’s secondary. He will have the chance to earn signficant playing on a defense which, like the team as a whole, faces considerable expectations in 2023.
