Texans Release Former Ravens Standout CB

Maulet, 32, spent the past two seasons with the Ravens. He originally joined Baltimore on a one-year deal but earned himself a two-year contract extension after recording 37 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, five passes defensed and one interception in 2023.

However, Maulet never lived up to his new deal. He suffered a knee injury near the start of the 2024 season that landed him on injured reserved and limited him to just three games.

Baltimore then released Maulet this offseason in a move that saved the team $2.25 million in salary cap space.

Maulet began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent out of the 2017 NFL Draft. He signed with the New Orleans Saints shortly after while also going on to play for the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers throughout his eight-year NFL career.

He joined the Texans this summer with the hopes of finally finding some security, but it seems that won't be the case for him in Houston.

When healthy, Maulet has been one of the best slot corners in the league, especially when it comes to bringing pressure off the edge. Unfortunately, he has struggled to stay healthy.

It's unclear if and where Maulet's next opportunity will come but it will unlikely be with the Ravens, who are loaded at the position with Jaire Alexander, Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie, T.J. Tampa and Jalyn Armour-Davis, among others.

While Maulet was hurt in 2024, Humphrey excelled in the slot and had the best season of his NFL career, including leading the AFC with a career-high six interceptions. So unless Baltimore were to suffer some injuries at cornerback, Maulet may be playing for his seventh different team in 2025.

Maulet has recorded 225 tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 16 passes defensed and four interceptions in his professional career.
