1. Elvis Dumervil

Elvis Dumervil was a big free agent in 2013 when he came over to Baltimore, but there is a chance he could get cut.

The 32 year old will be making $8.3 million this year, which is the fourth highest on the team. For the season that he just had, that money is not worth it. He had foot surgery last off-season, but nagging problems kept him to just 6 games during the season. In those 6 games he had 11 tackles and 3 sacks. I’m not sure if we see the Elvis Dumervil in who had 17 sacks in 2014 again. At his age and with injuries, it does not look promising.

If the Ravens were to cut Dumervil, they have options. They are going to have to get younger eventually, so the move would make sense. Albert McCllellan saw a good amount of game time this season when Dumervil was on the field. He is two years younger and making significantly less money. Matt Judon and Za’Darius Smith could also fill in the void if needed.
