Baltimore Ravens veteran safety Marcus Williams expects to be released, ESPN reported on Friday.

Williams, 28, was benched down the stretch last season, finishing with no interceptions in 11 games (nine starts).

Last month, the Ravens restructured the five-year, $70 million deal he signed in 2022.

According to OverTheCap.com, the restructuring provided $9.9 million in immediate cap relief and another $2.1 million after June 1. Baltimore would eat $6.7 million in dead money in both 2025 and 2026 by releasing him.

Williams has 20 career interceptions, 56 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and 469 tackles in 108 games (106 starts) with the New Orleans Saints (2017-21) and Ravens.
