The Bills signed White to a one-year contract worth up to $6.8 million Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
White, of course, was the 27th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Bills and spent the first seven seasons of his career with Buffalo, making a pair of Pro Bowls while being named a first-team All-Pro once. Injuries then took a toll on the cornerback, and the 30-year-old spent last season splitting time with the Rams and Ravens, playing in 11 regular-season contests. He'll try to rebound his career in a familiar environment.

Marcus Williams: Let go by Baltimore
Rotowire
The Ravens released Williams on Wednesday.
Williams opened up the 2024 campaign as one of Baltimore's starting safeties alongside Kyle Hamilton but ended up losing his spot to Ar'Darius Washington toward the end of the season. Williams will now look to catch on with a new team after having recorded 149 tackles (105 solo) and five interceptions across 32 games during his three-year tenure with the Ravens.

Ravens' Ar'Darius Washington: Tendered by Baltimore
Rotowire
The Ravens placed a Right of First Refusal Tender on Washington on Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Placing a tender on Washington allows the Ravens to match any offer that another team gives the 25-year-old safety out of TCU. He mostly served on special teams and in a rotational role in the Ravens' secondary in the first half of the 2024 season, but he entered the starting lineup in Week 8 and played a more significant role down the stretch. Washington finished the 2024 regular season with a career-high 64 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, eight pass defenses (two interceptions) and one forced fumble across 17 games.

Christian Matthew: Won't receive tender
Rotowire
The Ravens did not tender Matthew (undisclosed) by Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
The 28-year-old cornerback missed all of Baltimore's 2024 campaign on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury sustained in August. However, he now appears to have moved past the issue. Matthew last appeared in six regular-season games with the Cardinals and Bears in 2023, recording one solo tackle while playing strictly on special teams (97 snaps).

Michael Pierce: Retiring from football
Rotowire
Pierce announced his retirement Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Pierce played eight seasons as a pro after Baltimore signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Samford in 2016. He earned a reputation as a stout run stopper and now finishes his career having played in 99 games, totaling 238 tackles (136 solo) and 9.5 sacks.

Arthur Maulet: Cut by Baltimore
Rotowire
Maulet was released by the Ravens on Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Maulet will hit the open market after being limited to just three regular-season games in 2024 due to knee and hamstring injuries, compiling five total tackles (four solo) in those contests. The cornerback will turn 32 years old this offseason and he'll likely operate in a depth role with his next team.

Giants' Chris Board: Set to join Big Blue
Rotowire
Board is in line to sign with the Giants on a two-year contract worth up to $6 million when the new league year begins Wednesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Board was limited to special teams work in the first half of the 2024 regular season. He saw an increased role in the Ravens' linebacker rotation over the last six games of the regular season, and over that span he registered 22 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense. Board should have a similar role in the Giants' linebacker corps in 2025 behind Micah McFadden (ankle) and Bobby Okereke (back).

Steelers' Malik Harrison: Joining former rival
Rotowire
Harrison is slated to sign a two-year, $10-million deal with the Steelers when free agency officially opens Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 2020 third-round pick of the Ravens is staying in the AFC North after playing his first five seasons in Baltimore. Last year, Harrison served in a rotational role before earning the starting job in Week 11 and recording 36 tackles (15 solo) over the Ravens' final seven regular-season games. The inside linebacker ended the season with a career high 54 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks.

Jets' Brandon Stephens: In line to join Jets
Rotowire
Stephens is slated to sign a three-year, $36 million contract with the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Stephens suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Ravens in 2024 (17 starts), recording 70 tackles (59 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and 10 pass defenses. He now looks primed to compete for a starting gig at cornerback alongside Sauce Gardner (hamstring) for New York, though the Jets could conceivably still make notable additions to the position.

Ravens' Arthur Maulet: Only three appearances in 2024
Rotowire
Maulet (calf/knee) racked up five tackles (four solo) across three regular-season appearances with Baltimore. He finished the year on IR due to a hamstring injury.
Maulet has one more year remaining on this deal with the Ravens, though the team has a potential 'out' in his deal this offseason. The 31-year-old veteran's health will be a key factor in determining his tenure with Baltimore heading into the 2025 campaign. He began the 2024 season on IR due to a knee injury, then managed only three appearances before returning to the injured reserve list with knee and calf issues. He wasn't activated during the Ravens' playoff run.

Ravens' Jalyn Armour-Davis: Makes seven appearances in 2024
Rotowire
Armour-Davis (hamstring) recorded eight tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed across seven regular-season appearances with the Ravens in 2024. He concluded the year on IR.
Armour-Davis had a chance of returning for the Super Bowl had Baltimore advanced that far in the playoffs, but he now instead will turn his full attention toward getting healthy for the 2025 campaign. The 2022 fourth-round pick figures to contribute primarily on special teams again as he heads into the final year of his rookie deal with the Ravens.

Ravens' David Ojabo: Plays rotational role in 2024
Rotowire
Ojabo racked up nine tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 13 regular-season appearances with the Ravens in 2024.
Ojabo logged the most productive season of his three-year career in 2024, though his totals don't necessarily jump off the stat sheet. The 2022 second-round pick is now heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Baltimore, and he'll spend the offseason competing to reprise a rotational role as a member of the Ravens' pass rush.

Ravens' Tre'Davious White: Headed for free agency
Rotowire
White made 10 tackles (seven solo) and three pass breakups across seven regular-season appearances with the Ravens in 2024. He also suited up for four regular-season games with the Rams, making 12 tackles (nine solo) and two pass breakups.
White, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The veteran cornerback has endured numerous serious injuries since 2021, including two ACL tears and a torn Achilles, but he managed to stay relatively healthy in 2024 en route to 11 combined regular-season appearances while also suiting up for both of Baltimore's playoff games.

Ravens' Michael Pierce: Makes 11 appearances in 2024
Rotowire
Pierce tallied 19 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 11 regular-season appearances (one start) in 2024. He also had two passes defensed, including one interception.
Pierce handled a consistent rotational role on defense for Baltimore when healthy, though a calf injury forced him to spend five games on IR. The 32-year-old veteran has one more year remaining in his deal with Baltimore.

Ravens' Broderick Washington: Starts five games in 2024
Rotowire
Washington racked up 21 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances (five starts) with Baltimore in 2024. He also had two passes defensed and one forced fumble.
Washington has two years remaining on his deal with the Ravens, though the team has a potential 'out' for only $1.85 million after the 2025 season. The 2020 fifth-round pick doesn't boast the production to be be considered a reliable fantasy asset in IDP formats, but he has a fair path to reprising a starting role on defense for the 2025 campaign.

Ravens' Chris Board: Earns rotational defensive role
Rotowire
Board finished the 2024 regular season with 30 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense across 17 games.
Board signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Ravens in March of 2024 after playing for the Patriots in 2023. Board was mostly limited to special-teams work through the first 11 games of the regular season, but he earned a spot in Baltimore's inside-linebacker rotation while Malik Harrison jumped into the starting spot beside Roquan Smith. Board enters the offseason as a free agent and should garner interest from teams looking to add a veteran inside linebacker who can contribute positively to special teams.

Ravens' Tavius Robinson: Tallies 3.5 sacks in 2024
Rotowire
Robinson finished the 2024 regular season with 32 tackles (13 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 17 games.
The 2023 fourth-round pick out of Ole Miss spent the first half of the season in a rotational role at edge rusher, but he did start in the final six regular-season games. Robinson will likely serve as the Ravens' primary backup edge rusher for the 2025 campaign behind Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh, with the duo combining for 23.5 sacks during the 2024 regular season.

Ravens' Nate Wiggins: Six starts in rookie season
Rotowire
Wiggins finished the 2024 regular season with 33 tackles (25 solo), one forced fumble and 13 pass defenses, including a pick-six, across 15 games.
Wiggins spent most of his rookie season in a rotational role at outside corner with Tre'Davious White, though the former did manage to start in six games, including three of the Ravens' last four games of the regular season. Wiggins best moment of 2024 came midway through the first quarter of the Ravens' regular-season finale against the Browns, when he picked off Bailey Zappe and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown. Wiggins is likely to be one of Baltimore's two starting outside cornerbacks for 2025, especially if Brandon Stephens takes his talents elsewhere in free agency.

Ravens' Marcus Williams: Loses spot in Ravens' rotation
Rotowire
Williams played in 11 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 33 tackles (26 solo), two pass defenses and one fumble recovery.
Williams began the regular season as the Ravens' starting safety alongside Kyle Hamilton. However, he lost his starting spot to Ar'Darius Washington, and after playing just one defensive snap between Week 11 and 12, Williams was a healthy scratch for the final five games of the regular season and for Baltimore's two playoff games. Williams signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the Ravens in March of 2022, but given his decline over the course of the regular season, it's hard to imagine him being in Baltimore for the 2025 campaign.

Ravens' Odafe Oweh: Career-best 10.0 sacks in 2024
Rotowire
Oweh tallied 39 tackles (25 solo), including 10.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
Oweh logged 5.0 sacks in two of his first three seasons since being selected by the Ravens in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He didn't get a contract extension during the offseason, but that seemed to have fuelled his production in 2024 as he finished with the second-most sacks on the Ravens behind Kyle Van Noy (13.5) and tied with Detroit's Za'Darius Smith for No. 16 in the NFL. Oweh enters the 2025 season on the fifth and final year of his rookie contract and could get an extension from Baltimore this time around.
