The Baltimore Ravens will be making their salary-cap cuts over the next week, and some players should feel safer than others after hearing general manager Ozzie Newsome talk last week.
Newsome's comments suggest wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will soon be released and cornerback Brandon Carr is likely to be retained.
Maclin has long been considered the prime candidate to get cut by the Ravens after he produced 40 receptions for 440 yards (11-yard average), the worst numbers of his eight-year career. The Ravens can free up $5 million by parting ways with Maclin -- the largest savings on the team -- and they need to do so by March 16.
