The Baltimore Ravens created much-needed cap space Tuesday by cutting cornerback Shareece Wright and safety Kendrick Lewis, two recent free-agent signings who proved to be disappointments.
The Ravens freed up $4.9 million in cap room, which is significant for a team that ranks fifth in least amount of cap space ($14.3 million entering Tuesday). These moves are the first for the Ravens in what has been a quiet offseason.
Wright struggled more than any Ravens defender in 2017. He allowed six touchdowns in 12 games last season, struggled with injuries and fell to the bottom of the team's depth chart.
