Ravens Cut Ties with Guard Ben Cleveland Following DUI Suspension
Baltimore, MD – The Baltimore Ravens have waived offensive lineman Ben Cleveland, a 2021 third-round draft pick, the team announced on Tuesday. The move comes after Cleveland served a three-game suspension for driving under the influence, stemming from a February arrest in Georgia.
Cleveland pleaded guilty to the charge in November, triggering the NFL’s suspension. The suspension concluded after the Ravens’ Week 17 game.
Cleveland played in all 17 regular-season games as a backup at left guard last season and two Ravens playoff games.
Because Cleveland has less than four accrued NFL seasons, he was waived rather than released, giving other teams 24 hours to claim him. His rookie contract expires after the 2025 season. The Ravens are gearing up for their regular-season finale as they contend for the AFC North title.
