Breaking down all 2023 Baltimore Ravens roster cuts
11. Offensive Lineman - David Sharpe
David Sharpe, a career right tackle, has been with the Baltimore Ravens since 2021. Baltimore decided to cut ties with him, at least for now, on Tuesday as first reported by Jeff Zrebic of The Athletic.
The Ravens have released veteran OT David Sharpe. He was one of the candidates for the last OL spot.

He was a fourth-round pick in 2017 by the Raiders and spent three years with them before playing for Washington and then joining the Ravens in 2021. In 2022, Sharpe was only on the practice squad of the Ravens.
The Ravens expect more from Daniel Faalele and Sala Amuave-Laulu than from Sharpe, so the writing was always on the wall for him.
Ben Cleveland, who can also man the right side of the line at tackle, made it even more difficult for Sharpe to make the cut, and we'll see if also the practice squad.
