Baltimore’s defense just hit a plot twist. Odafe Oweh, the Ravens’ 10-sack edge rusher, sent fans scrambling with a cryptic emoji () on X. Is it a peace sign… or a warning?
Oweh’s peace sign could hint at solidarity—or a subtle nod to roster changes. After all, the Ravens’ defense needs a reboot. Williams’ exit frees up cash for upgrades, maybe even a splashy draft pick. Sources say Harbaugh’s strategy is “cap-driven but hungry.” With John Harbaugh reportedly set to cut safety Marcus Williams before March 13, the locker room’s vibe is thicker than a Super Bowl chili.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler broke the news: Williams, benched last season, expects to hit free agency after a Ravens release. The 28-year-old’s 2023 stats were brutal—allowing a 148.4 passer rating (near perfect disaster territory) and zero interceptions despite 20 career picks. By December, he was a healthy scratch, replaced by Ar’Darius Washington. The defense tightened up like a playoff-bound hockey team post-trade deadline.
Cutting Williams before March 13 saves the Ravens $2.1 million in cap space but leaves $6.7 million in dead money. Think of it as paying for a luxury car you no longer drive. Harbaugh’s move isn’t shocking—Williams’ $70 million deal (signed in 2022) soured fast. His 2023 play was the NFL equivalent of a golf swing yips.
Williams, once a ballhawk, might find backup gigs elsewhere. Meanwhile, Oweh’s emoji lingers like a mystery flavor in a ballpark hot dog.
This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
