The Ravens have an opportunity to clear a significant amount from their salary cap this offseason, which could open the door to becoming an active player in the free-agent market.

Historically, the Ravens have never been major players in the free-agent market, although they have made a splash with some key signings, most notably tight end Shannon Sharpe, defensive back Rod Woodson, defensive end Michael McCrary and wide receivers Derrick Mason and Anquan Boldin.
