The Baltimore Ravens will need to get creative with the cap this off-season as they have a total of 23 free agents from their own team that need to be addressed.

One of those free against is star defensive tackle Justin Madubuike, who is having a breakout year. Consequently, it appears the Ravens tried getting ahead of this by attempting to sign the DT before the season started.

According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter on his podcast, “Baltimore put on a press to sign him this summer.” Schefter mentions multiple times that Madubuike “bet on himself” and he is right.

The fourth-year player is having a breakout season many believe is going to earn him a giant pay-day in the offseason.

The Ravens front office was smart enough to try and get ahead of the contract situation in the summer. Unfortunately, they are now facing a difficult situation.

“If they can’t get him re-signed, they’ll probably have to use their franchise tag on him,” according to Schefter.

Additionally, Schefter points out these are not words that the tackle wants to hear.  Madubuike has played himself into a situation where the Ravens can ill afford to lose such a talent.

Schefter points out a similar situation where like former quarterback Joe Flacco, Madubuike believed in himself, enough to turn down an extension, for the chance at bigger money.
