The Baltimore Ravens released safety Lardarius Webb on Friday, one day after the team officially signed his replacement in Tony Jefferson.
The Ravens freed up $5.5 million in cap room by parting ways with Webb, the fifth-longest tenured Ravens player currently on the roster.
Webb, 31, extended his career in Baltimore by taking a $2 million pay cut in 2015 and switching from cornerback to safety last season. He finished fourth on the team with 73 tackles last season and recorded one interception and five passes defensed. Pro Football Focus rated him as the 15th-best safety in 2016.
