NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports the Ravens are planning to release Maulet after an injury-riddled 2024. He had a strong 2024 as the Ravens’ slot corner, re-signing with the team last offseason. However, he hit injured reserve to begin the 2024 season and played just three games. The 31-year-old will look for a new home as a rotational defensive back.

Maulet has played between 348 and 481 defensive snaps for each of the last five seasons with the Jets, Steelers, and Ravens. He’ll be a nice depth piece for Baltimore’s secondary, and perhaps elevate into an even bigger role if Marlon Humphrey’s MNF knee injury is serious.

Maulet initially joined the Ravens on a one-year deal prior to the 2023 season. He thrived in a nickel role for the Ravens’ top defense, notching 2 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, and an interception. Maulet now returns on a two-year deal for a Ravens defense that lost much personnel, including defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald. Expect Maulet to return to a nickel role under new defensive coordinator Zach Orr.

The Ravens have undergone somewhat of a secondary transformation as their once formidable depth chart has aged. Maulet should compete for a depth role primarily as the nickel corner in Baltimore.
