2. PRESENT SALARY CAP SPACE:
According to a ProFootballTalk.com report of yesterday, the Ravens are currently $3.558M. Again, this number would appear to not yet include Bernard Pollard. This coincides pretty well with the Salary Cap numbers complied by Ravens 24×7. It is likely that the difference is some sort of unreported Cap adjustment based on prior incentives or some Likely to be Earned Incentive that is counting against this year’s Cap.
