The Ravens are $8.386 million under the NFL salary-cap limit of $143.28 million, a solid financial situation at this stage of the offseason.
The Ravens are listed as having $9.625 million in cap space, but that doesn't include defensive end Chris Canty's two-year, $4.65 million contract that hasn't been officially processed to account for his $1.75 million salary-cap figure.
That means the Ravens have enough financial flexibility to sign free agents, extend current players under contract and have enough money set aside for their rookie pool to sign as many as 10 draft picks.
The Ravens created $2.75 million in cap savings when they restructured veteran cornerback Lardarius Webb's contract, lowering his salary-cap figure from $12 million to $9.25 million for the 2015 fiscal year.
The Ravens also saved $8.5 million in salary cap space and cash when they traded five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata to the Detroit Lions.
