If all of the players remain on the team at these contract figures, the Ravens should begin the 2016 offseason in essentially a zero available budget position, as the projected annual league wide salary cap increase will be dedicated to signing the draft class and reserved for in season maneuvers. In other words, any new contracts for in house free agents, outside free agents or early extensions must be accounted for with corresponding savings from the existing contract commitments.
What would you do with this roster and salary cap situation to best position the Ravens for 2016 and beyond?
1. Whose contract should be restructured (extended)?
2. Who should be released (retired)?
3. Which free agents should be resigned from the 2015 Ravens?
4. Who should be resigned (extended) before they become available for free agency?
5. How much cap space should be allocated for free agents from outside the team?
