And yet, Humphrey carries the fourth-highest cap hit on the team in 2026 at $26.3 million. Cutting him before June 1 would net $7.3 million in cap savings, but he might be worth one of the post-June 1 cut slots, as that would boost the savings to $19.3 million for Baltimore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Auman said Humphrey would have his share of suitors if he became available, including one he has plenty of history with.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has 10 interceptions in the last two seasons, so he&#8217;ll have a solid demand for his services,&#8221; Auman wrote. &#8220;He&#8217;s played his entire career for John Harbaugh, so the Giants should be in play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25396228-2026-nfl-offseason-trade-block-big-board-after-super-bowl-lx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bleacher Report\u2019s Kristopher Knox<\/a> placed Humphrey at No. 3 in his ranking of the top 10 offseason trade targets, which he based on upside, past production, positional value, contract status, likely availability, projected price point, and recent buzz.<\/p>\n<p>Knox projected Humphrey&#8217;s trade value to be a 2026 fourth-round pick and a conditional 2027 fifth-round pick, and he named the Giants and Rams as potential suitors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Minter, who spent four years in Baltimore as a defensive assistant, might not be eager to move on from Humphrey and is highly unlikely to advocate for his outright release,&#8221; Knox wrote. &#8220;However, GM Eric DeCosta will likely listen to reasonable offers, given Humphrey&#8217;s age and contract status. Humphrey is still a dependable starter and should interest teams as a one-year rental with a future to be decided after 2026.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pundits Predict Marlon Humphrey&#8217;s Future With the Ravens Four-time Pro Bowl and two-time All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":760477,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,7,781,786,888,6,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-760476","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-general","13":"tag-homepage-centerpiece","14":"tag-late-for-work","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-ravens"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116092140638261827","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=760476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/760477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=760476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=760476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=760476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
