Dennis Pitta: Cut Him.

After basically missing two straight seasons, Dennis Pitta bounced back a lot better than I expected. Pitta was a nice surprise though, leading the team in receptions and scoring twice against the Dolphins. But Pitta has the sixth highest cap hit for any tight end. That is significant for a guy with just 2 touchdowns and a team with several tight ends on the roster. The Ravens should probably go younger with up and coming talents like Crockett Gilmore and Darren Waller.

Ben Watson Cut Him:

After a career season in 2015, the Ravens signed Watson in case Pitta couldn’t play. It turned out to be the opposite as Pitta played every game and Watson tore his Achilles in the preseason. At age 36 and a $3 million cap hit, the Ravens should move on from Watson.
