According to multiple reports the Baltimore Ravens have released Dennis Pitta. The move was bound to happen eventually. Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports that the move creates some much needed cap space:
“This move clears $2.5 million in much-needed cap space for the Ravens, who could be looking to add a wide receiver in the coming days. Baltimore didn’t have to give an injury settlement to Pitta because he signed a waiver after fracturing his hip in 2013 and 2014.”
Hensley of course is referring to the excitement building about Jeremy Maclin and Eric Decker recently becoming available.
