Ravens waive former sixth-round CB Robert Longerbeam
The Ravens waived cornerback Robert Longerbeam as competition for the final spots in Baltimore’s deep secondary reached its conclusion
The Baltimore Ravens have waived cornerback Robert Longerbeam as they trim their roster down to 53 players, according to Adam Schefter. The 212th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft, Longerbeam's rookie campaign was cut short after he suffered a knee injury during training camp and was placed on injured reserve.
Returning healthy this offseason, Longerbeam generated momentum during organized team activities with his speed and ball skills. Among the Ravens' deepest position groups, Longerbeam impressed with a 40-yard dash time of 4.39 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine and 42 pass defensed in his college career. However, his path to the roster faced challenges.
Currently, Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey, and Chidobe Awuzie lead Baltimore's cornerback corps, while T.J. Tampa and Bilhal Kone offer additional depth and special-teams contributions. Longerbeam's departure offers clarity as the Ravens finalize their roster decisions, showcasing how swiftly circumstances can shift for a late-round selection who missed a crucial developmental season due to injury.
The player will undergo waivers and could be claimed by another team. If cleared, Baltimore might consider bringing him back on the practice squad to continue his development and provide organizational depth at cornerback.
