Reports: Ravens Release Safety Lardarius Webb

Lardarius Webb’s time in Baltimore appears to have come to a close.

The Ravens reportedly informed the 31-year-old safety that he will be released after reaching a deal with former Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun.

Cutting Webb would create $5.5 million in salary cap space, according to Spotrac, which the team put towards re-signing defensive tackle Brandon Williams and acquiring free agents like Jefferson and running back Danny Woodhead.

Webb, an eight-year veteran, has spent his entire career in Baltimore. The Ravens drafted him out of Nicholls State in the third round in 2009, and he was a shining example of the Ravens finding a high-end talent out of a small school.
