Why Ravens rank second in NFL in dead money

One reason why the Baltimore Ravens won't be able to do much in free agency is because of "dead money," which is the amount of space consumed by players no longer on the roster, whether they retired, were released or traded. The Ravens rank second in the NFL with $12.5 million in dead money, trailing only the Detroit Lions ($17.3 million). The Ravens' dead money essentially comes from two players, running back Ray Rice ($9.5 million) and receiver-returner Jacoby Jones ($2.
