The only reason I suggest it is so the Ravens can eat the dead cap now and get rid of guys who don't have a clear direction with the team in the future.
I'd be looking to get signings done with young guys (Pryor is 27, Jefferson is 25, Reiff is 28) who you can add to an already excellent core of players in Stanley, Jimmy, Young, Mosley, Dixon, Jernigan. Build up the core with young players from other teams because the Ravens haven't been drafting as well lately (looking at you, DeCosta), so this would give them a year to just eat all the dead cap and gain chemistry as a team before making a bigger play in 2018.
