Kendrick Lewis: Keep Him.

Kendrick Lewis was a productive starter in his years at the Texans and he played solid for the Ravens in 2015. Injuries cut his season short this season, but he was a back up to Lardarius Webb anyways. However, his cap number isn’t too big for the Ravens to take. If the Ravens cut Webb, they can have Lewis as a insurance player in case they bring in someone younger.

Lardarius Webb: It Depends.

This one tough. Webb has been with the Ravens for a long time and is one of the teams leaders on defense. He was forced by father time to move to safety this past season, and got a lot better as the season went on. The Ravens quality play from the safety positions kept the secondary from being a disaster and Webb was better than expected.

Unfortunately, he is getting older and the Ravens could probably find equal or better pay for a cheaper price. A $7.5 million cap hit is just too significant for his play. If Webb takes a pay cut, you keep him. However, if he is not willing to take a pay cut, then you can move on from him and start looking at the draft or upgrades in free agency.
