The Ravens made a few moves to create cap space, including the departures of Danny Woodhead, Lardarius Webb and Austin Howard. They have also restructured Brandon Williams’ contract to create another $5.625M in cap space.
Brandon Williams’ restructure was accomplished by reducing his $8.5M bonus down to $1M & giving him a $7.5M bonus. That bonus is then prorated over the 4 yrs of the deal. Saves $5.625M against Cap in 2018 & adds $1.875M to each of his Cap #’s in 2019-2021.

The goodbyes to Woodhead and Webb were expected, but Howard’s release was a mild surprise and saves the team $3M in cap space.
