The moves will free up $9.5 million in salary cap space for the club, according to the Baltimore Sun.
McGahee's released was considered a done deal since before the lockout. He was due $6 million for next season.
The newspaper reported that Gregg could return to the Ravens at a reduced salary. A starter since 2002, Gregg was scheduled to make $3.5 million nexst season.
McGahee has been relegated to backup duty after the emergence of Ray Rice. He had 380 yards and five touchdowns on 100 carries in 2010.
