"The move also helps Baltimore's cap situation, creating $6.5 million in space. The Ravens, though, will take on $2.2 million in dead money in 2016 and $4.4 million in 2017."

 

This is what will eventually make our excruciatingly painful rebuild worth it...  Our cap is in such good shape that we won't have any dead money problems in the near future.  

Even if Malik Jackson flames out with that enormous contract, I'm pretty sure he would be off the books in 2 years (3 max), and we're a long way from having to push guaranteed money out over the length of long-term contracts like Baltimore did with Monroe.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
