The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec reports that the Baltimore Ravens are releasing both cornerback Arthur Maulet and safety Marcus Williams. The move to release Maulet will create $2.2 million in salary cap space in 2025. Maulet, 31, was a key member of one of the NFL's best defenses back in 2023, but he only played in three regular-season games last year due to hamstring and knee injuries. Williams, 28, will be officially cut on the first day of the new league year on Wednesday, a move that was a ...

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams is preparing for free agency with the full expectation that he will be released, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. A recent restructure of Williams' contract included a significant trigger that comes due on March 13, and Baltimore is expected to try and avoid that after he was benched in 2024. The 28-year-old played in only 11 regular-season games last year and finished with 33 tackles (26 solo), two pass breakups and a fumble recovery after beginning ...

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams being cut this offseason is viewed as a formality after he was benched in 2024 and made a healthy scratch for the final seven games, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. The 28-year-old will likely be a post-June 1 cut. Williams restructured his deal last month to make it easier for both sides to move on. The Ravens have a tight salary-cap situation this year, which means that veteran cornerback Arthur Maulet is another potential cap casualty in 2025....

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (hamstring), defensive back Daryl Worley (shoulder) and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (illness) are all listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. Williams has missed the last two games but was able to get in some limited practice this week, giving him a chance to return this weekend. Head coach John Harbaugh said a decision on whether Williams will play on Sunday could come down to the wire. Geno Stone will continue to start...

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions. Williams injured his hamstring in Week 6 and was a long shot to play this upcoming game due to the fact he didn't log a practice. Injuries have limited the seven-year safety to just three games this season. Cornerback Kevon Seymour (ankle) has also been ruled out for Sunday so the Baltimore secondary is looking a little banged up at the moment, which should be a boost for ...

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has another solid matchup against the Titans in Week 6. They've been able to force six turnovers, 18 sacks, and even a safety so far this year. Now, they'll take on a Titans offense that ranks in the bottom third of the league in total yards and scoring. This is also the healthiest the defense has been after getting Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Williams back. Fantasy managers can start the Ravens defensive unit confidently in a neutral location game over ...

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marcus Williams (pectoral) will not require surgery for his pectoral injury and will not go on Injured Reserve, according to head coach John Harbaugh. This is a good sign for the 27-year-old, who was placed on Injured Reserve in October of last season and did not return until early December. Baltimore's secondary will be in much better shape when Williams and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) return to health. Both players missed the Week 2 win over the Cincinnati...

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams was already thin at defensive back and after Week 1, the team suffered even more injuries. Marlon Humphrey (foot) is still out and starting safety Marcus Williams (pectoral) could be out for a while if he does elect to get surgery. While the pass rush looked good against a rookie, they still have a lot to prove against the best quarterbacks. There are better options to go with for a defensive unit this week. Especially considering that Ja'Marr Chase and...

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (pectoral) injured his pectoral muscle in the Week 1 win over the Houston Texans and is expected to be out for a while, according to head coach John Harbaugh. The injury may not be season-ending, but Williams is considering surgery. The surgery route would keep the 27-year-old out even longer, and it remains to be seen when he'll be able to rejoin Baltimore's secondary. Either way, Williams' injury is a key blow to a thin Ravens secondary early in the 2023...

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams picked off three passes, recorded two sacks, blocked one field goal, and let up just 14 points in a Week 14 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Once Kenny Pickett had to leave the game, the floodgates seemed to open turnover-wise for the defense. The return of Marcus Williams helped greatly as he hauled in one of the three interceptions on the week. They'll now look ahead to a Week 15 slate against the Cleveland Browns. The last time the two teams ...
