The Ravens parted ways with a pair of veteran defensive backs Tuesday, marking their first moves in what will be a busy free agency period.
Baltimore terminated the contracts of cornerback Shareece Wright and safety Kendrick Lewis, clearing about $5 million in salary cap space.
Wright signed a three-year contract with the Ravens exactly one year ago, but had a tough 2016 season.
Baltimore re-signed him last year because he played very well in the second half of 2015, and the Ravens were hoping he could ride that momentum in forming a strong tandem with good friend and former high school teammate Jimmy Smith.
