The Ravens have released veteran safety Marcus Williams. Williams lost his starting job during the 2024 season and did not play after Week 12. The 28-year-old Williams signed with Baltimore as a free agent in 2022 after spending five seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

The Baltimore Ravens cut free safety Marcus Williams on Wednesday, a move that comes three years after he was the team's top free agent signing. Williams, 28, was benched midway through last season and did not play after Week 12.

The Baltimore Ravens watched Marcus Williams become a steady presence since 2022. They will now turn to a new safety in their newest NFL free agency decision. The franchise announced that Williams has been released, with the decision becoming official Wednesday evening.
