With* *free agency right around the corner, let's get an updated look at the Ravens' pending free agents.
The Ravens had 30 scheduled free agents after the season ended, but one was released (defensive tackle Terrence Cody) and one was reportedly re-signed (defensive tackle Christo Bilukidi). Baltimore also released wide receiver/returner Jacoby Jones and defensive end Chris Canty.
As of now, the Ravens haven't signed any of their marquee free agents, such as wide receiver Torrey Smith, outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, tight end Owen Daniels or running back Justin Forsett. The first domino that may need to fall is an extension or release of defensive tackle Haloti Ngata.
Teams can begin discussing contracts with players beginning Saturday at 4 p.m. The market officially opens Tuesday at 4 p.m.
With that in mind, here are the Ravens' 28 impending free agents as they enter the 2015 offseason. There are 14 unrestricted free agents, three restricted free agents (if Bilukidi is confirmed) and 11 exclusive rights free agents.
Here's the list:
Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA)
Players that have the ability to sign with any team in the NFL once the new league year begins on March 10. The Ravens have the ability to negotiate with and sign their unrestricted free agents, or use the franchise tag to keep one of them, before the deadline.
- CBÂ Antoine Cason
- NTÂ Terrence Cody (released by Ravens)
- LSÂ Morgan Cox
- TE Owen Daniels
- RB Justin Forsett
- CBÂ Danny Gorrer
- DEÂ Lawrence Guy
- OLB Pernell McPhee
- SSÂ Jeromy Miles

Restricted Free Agents (RFA)
Players with three accrued NFL seasons whose contracts have expired, but received a qualifying offer from their current club that restricts their ability to sign with a new team. The Ravens have the first rights to sign their RFAs by designating them with a salary tender corresponding to a specified draft pick. A RFA could sign with another team if that new team signs the player to an offer sheet, and the Ravens choose not to match the offer. In that situation, the Ravens would then receive draft pick compensation from the new club for the RFA, based on the tender.
- DLÂ Christo Bilukidi (reportedly re-signed to a 2-year deal)
- FSÂ Will Hill
- CBÂ Anthony Levine
- KÂ Justin Tucker
Exclusive Rights Free Agent (ERFA)
Players with two accrued NFL seasons whose contracts have expired, but do not have the ability to sign with another team unless their current club chooses not to re-sign them.
- WRÂ Kamar Aiken
- CBÂ Tramain Jacobs
- OLÂ Ryan Jensen
- LSÂ Kevin McDermott
- DEÂ Steven Means
- CBÂ Rashaan Melvin
