Will The Ravens Grim Reaper Return?
Just after the lockout ended in 2011, the Ravens found themselves in a really tight salary cap spot. So on Monday, July 25, 2011, Ozzie Newsome made this announcement:
“We will be making a number of roster moves in the next 48 hours that will free up salary cap space. That will give us the ability to make offers to our players we want to re-sign, plus put us in a position to sign free agents from other teams.”
Among those roster moves were the releases of Derrick Mason, Todd Heap, Willis McGahee and Kelly Gregg.
