Nice work. Thank you for not using Spotrac!!
A couple more small details:
Guys drafted in the 2nd-7th rounds of the 2019 draft are eligible for proven performance escalators. For the Ravens, this is Boykin and Powers. They'll get a bump up to the lowest RFA tag (Right of First Refusal), which Overthecap currently estimates at ~$2.4M for 2022. Boykin gets cut for certain. Powers gets kept at that price.
Mekari will nearly certainly get the 2nd round RFA tag. That'll be ~$3.9M in 2022.
$3M of Boyle's $5M salary is guaranteed. If he's cut and they have to pay that $3M, then it isn't any cap savings. But if they have offset language and they can recoup that money if he signs for $3M (or more) elsewhere, then they could save up to that $3M against the cap by cutting him. It'd be a gamble to cut him, but potential for some savings depending on how his contract is written.
Koch would be $2.1M in cap savings. I think he's still a good punter but he's not longer one of the best, IMO. Wouldn't be surprised if they draft or sign an undrafted punter and consider moving on from Koch.

Gonna be way more than $10M per year (I know the article said at least) to get him. $10M doesn't even make you a top-15 CB.
I'd be surprised if the Ravens have enough space to place at the top of the CB market. One big splash seems doable, but with Humphrey and Peters already in town, another hugely paid CB seems unlikely to me. If they cut Peters, then it becomes more plausible.

Good stuff. I agree with cutting all the cap savings players, especially AV.
I think if they were signing a CB like Jackson , then Peters will likely be cut.

I'd cut the following:

Cap savings if cut (dead money in parens):
$6M Villanueva ($3.25M)
$5.845M Young ($3.38M)
$3M James ($250k)
$2.54M Boykin ($214k)
$2.1M Koch ($1.05M)
$1.07M Oliver (none)
$0.965M Ferguson ($226k)
Possible restructures (numbers based taking 2022 salary to $1M and converting rest to bonus split across remaining contract):
Stanley $6.375M
Humphrey $7.2M
Zeitler $2.5M
Boyle $2M
Bowser $1.33M
Tucker $1.25M
Edwards $1.125M
Clark $875k
I would 100% restructure Stanley, Humphrey, Bowser, and Tucker. Others I would try to wait and only do it in an emergency.
Other cap implications are going to include thing like 2021 ULTBE bonuses that were actually earned (Jimmy Smith, Tavon Young, Justin Houston and others may have quite a bit of these). Any bonuses that weren't pre-emptively counted against the 2021 cap but the players earned will come off of the 2022 cap.

You can't cut free agents
Only Koch and Villanueva are signed for next year. The rest are gone anyways. No savings.

It doesn't clear any cap space, though. The Ravens 2022 cap number already doesn't include those guys.

With restructures, extensions or flat out cut or trades, they can clear a significant amount of cap space.Clearing space is nice, but what’s the reason/who are they going to sign? After retaining some of their own, I’m not sure which UFA they’re looking for?
What do you all think?
