For the second straight March, the Ravens made the decision to release their longest-tenured defensive back.
The franchise cut Lardarius Webb again on Monday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter), and there might not be an immediate path back onto the roster for the nine-year Ravens starter.
Webb was used mostly off the bench last season, but he’s made 85 starts with Baltimore and suited up for 127 regular-season games. The Ravens, who are up against the cap, will save $1.75MM by making this move.
The Ravens brought Webb back last year at a reduced rate but may not do the same for what will be the defender’s age-33 season.
He saw action in six playoff games, starting four, for the franchise. Although, an injury prevented him from suiting up during the Ravens’ four 2012 playoff contests. However, in Baltimore’s near-Super Bowl run during 2011, Webb intercepted eight passes (five in the regular season, three in those playoffs).
