The free-agency period in March would be a much more tense situation for the Baltimore Ravens if they hadn't extended the contracts of guard Marshal Yanda, cornerback Jimmy Smith, safety Will Hill and punter Sam Koch before the end of this season.
Now, the Ravens are faced with only three starters (offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele, linebacker Courtney Upshaw and cornerback Shareece Wright) who are set to become unrestricted free agents on March 15.
Baltimore has $144.4 million committed to the 2016 cap, which means the Ravens could have anywhere from $5.
