Overview
- On Friday, July 31, 2026, Broderick Washington agreed to a one-year, $2 million fully guaranteed contract that includes $250,000 in incentives and a reported $750,000 signing bonus.
- The renegotiation cuts Washington’s 2026 cap charge to about $3.85 million and generates roughly $2 million in immediate salary-cap space for the Ravens.
- Guard Andrew Vorhees had a separate contract rework the same day, which adds additional short-term cap relief for the team.
- Washington is assured at least one more season in Baltimore but will have to earn a rotational defensive-line role on a deep group that includes Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones and Calais Campbell.
- The moves mirror a common NFL approach of converting salary into shorter guarantees and bonuses to lower present cap hits and give the front office room to sign veterans, handle injuries, or pursue trades during camp.
