Ravens Re-Sign Former Steelers CB
PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Arthur Maulet is headed back to the Baltimore Ravens, re-signing for a two-year deal, according to ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe.
Maulet, 30, signed with the Ravens last offseason, joining the team on a one-year deal to jump across the AFC North from Pittsburgh. He played in 14 games, starting three and recording 37 tackles, one interception, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and five passes defensed.
The NFL journeyman spent two seasons with the Steelers, playing 33 games in the slot and starting eight games. He recorded 106 tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles, four passes defensed and one interception.
His time with the Steelers came to a rocky end after he requested his release after learning he wasn’t going to receive a contract extension. Shortly after, he signed in Baltimore, competing for the starting job and winning it.
He’ll now get four more looks at Pittsburgh over the next two seasons, becoming an interval part of the AFC North rivalry.

The offensive line of the Seattle Seahawks was battered and bruised during the 2023 season, with all five Week 1 starters missing at least one game due to injury over the course of the year. The positions least hit by injury were left guard and center, but the Carolina Panthers offered Damien Lewis seventeen truckloads of cash to sign, leaving the Hawks looking for a new starter at left guard.
Now, the division rival Arizona Cardinals have swooped in to sign the only other Week 1 starter on the 2023 offensive line who missed just a single game, Evan Brown.
The one-year, $2.35M contract Brown signed with the Cards is very similar to the one-year, $2.25M contract Brown signed with Seattle during the 2023 offseason, which would seem to indicate that his on field performance for the Seahawks did not drastically alter his value on the free agent market.
For those curious, the base amount of the contract, $2.35M, is below the minimum threshold for the contract to qualify for the Seahawks to qualify for a comp pick.
This week, the NFL announced a punishment for the San Francisco 49ers as a result of a payroll mistake during the 2022 season that will cost them multiple draft picks. But as one NFL insider points out, this punishment was pretty extreme compared to what teams have received for seemingly more severe violations in the past.
As Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk points out, the San Francisco 49ers actually received a more extreme punishment for an accident that gave them no competitive advantage than the Atlanta Falcons did for using artificial crowd noise during games a few years ago.
“On Monday, the NFL announced that the 49ers will lose a 2025 fifth-round pick and will see their 2024 fourth-round pick fall four spots, to the bottom of the round, for a ‘clerical error’ regarding player payroll in 2022. It was presented as an accident that created no competitive advantage and did not put the 49ers in violation of the salary cap,” Florio wrote for Pro Football Talk.
“But it’s still a major sanction, especially if it was an accident. In 2015, the NFL gave less of a punishment to the Falcons for piping fake crowd noise into the Georgia Dome. That year, the Falcons lost a fifth-round pick in the 2016 draft.”
That’s a pretty extreme punishment for the 49ers for something that doesn’t seem nearly as big of a deal as what the Falcons did.
