Former Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Tyus Bowser filed a grievance against the team in 2024 after he wasn't paid his $4.5 million salary during the 2023 season, when Bowser spent the entire campaign on the non-football injury list.
The issue was that Bowser believed the team didn't handle his injury correctly, which led to him missing out on his salary that season.
That issue has now been resolved, though. According to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, Bowser withdrew his grievance. And, with that, the Ravens have picked up $1.8 million in cap space that was taken from them when the grievance was filed.
"Former Ravens OLB Tyus Bowser withdrew his $4.5 million grievance against the team for how it handled his knee injury during 2023 season, according to team sources," Zrebiec wrote. "The Ravens will get a $1.8 million salary cap credit."
Entering Friday, the Ravens had $11.1 million in cap space, per Over the Cap. With the added funds, Baltimore is now sitting with $12.9 million in funds to spare.
While not a huge number, it is significant for the Ravens thanks to their limited funds. The $1.8 million would be enough to bring in a player on a veteran's minimum deal, and it gives the team slightly more wiggle room for in-season moves.
Bowser returned from his injury in 2024 and spent stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Miami Dolphins. He appeared in nine games (five starts) in total, with the majority of his playing time coming with the Dolphins.
