Marlon Humphrey and 3 Ravens running out of time to save their jobs

The Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 season is hanging on by a thread. To make the playoffs, they need the Cleveland Browns to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17, while they take care of business against the Green Bay Packers. If that goes according to plan, they would draw a winner-takes-all matchup against the Steelers in Week 18. Safe to say, the odds are stacked against them.

With their season on the brink of ending, many of Baltimore’s players have two games left to prove themselves. As it goes with an underwhelming campaign, many starters and weekly contributors have fallen well short of expectations. Whether it be trade, cut, or departure through free agency, the Ravens are inevitably going to see many pieces leave Charm City over the offseason.

Here are four players who are running out of time to cement their statuses in Baltimore.

4 Ravens running out of time to save their jobs

Marlon Humphrey

Since being drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, cornerback Marlon Humphrey has been one of the best corners in the game. He has made four Pro Bowls and nabbed two First-Team All-Pro honors through nine seasons.

2024 was one of Humphrey’s best years, but 2025 has been his worst season by a wide margin. According to Pro Football Focus, Humphrey has posted a 48.1 grade in 13 games. His previous worst was a 65.3 grade.

Injuries have clearly played a part in his troubles. Regardless, he has been a liability all year long. He has allowed the third-most passing yards among NFL defensive backs with 655 yards, and he seems to give up deep completions on a weekly basis.

Humphrey’s contract has a cap hit of just over $26 million in 2026. The front office will obviously first look to restructure, but a cut post-June 1 would save them $19.25 million in 2026. If he disappoints in Baltimore’s final two games, a Humphrey-less Ravens next season could be a real possibility.

Daniel Faalele

Right guard Daniel Faalele has been the most polarizing player on the team in 2025. It seems like every week, he adds to his career lowlight tape. He provides some stable play at times, and may somehow be the best option at guard, but he has been far from starting-caliber.

Faalele is set to be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason. While he has remained on the starting unit all year, he has not given the coaching staff much reason to re-up his contract.

Depth is obviously important, so there could be a world where Faalele sneaks back on the roster in 2026. However, the inability to control blocks and stay on his feet has hurt Baltimore countless times, and he has given them every reason to cut bait with him after the year is over.

Andrew Vorhees

Sensing a theme? The interior offensive line needs a revamp. While the Ravens must extend center Tyler Linderbaum, the experiments with Faalele and left guard Andrew Vorhees could be coming to a close.

Vorhees is still under contract next season, but he has lost some snaps to rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. Vorhees remains the lead option at left guard, but with Jones cutting into his reps, the end could be near for Vorhees as a starter.

If General Manager Eric DeCosta does add to the offensive line in the way fans hope he does, Vorhees could quickly be a backend depth option or even find himself on the outside looking in.

Tylan Wallace

Wide receiver Tylan Wallace has long been a favorite for special teams reps. However, this year, not only is he no longer the punt returner, but he has pretty much lost out on his rotational role as a wideout.

Like Faalele, Wallace will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 26-year-old is still getting in on the action on kick and punt returns, as well as kick coverage, but it feels like he no longer has a cemented spot in those areas.

With young wideouts in second-year pro Devontez Walker and rookie LaJohntay Wester slowly rising, DeCosta could opt for the youth movement and let Wallace walk to save some extra cash.
