The Salary Cap is no Friend of Baltimore

Salute: Baltimore Sun

There have been reports that the cap will rise from about $155 million to somewhere between $166 million and $170 million per team, which should give the Ravens some flexibility. But the infusion of an estimated $400 million into the industry's player payroll structure will also push the price of free agents northward.

Joe Flacco counts over $24M against the Ravens cap next season and Jimmy Smith is over $12M.  This is a team that needs to hit it very big in the draft, especially in the middle and late rounds.
