NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports that Maulet is retiring. The 33-year-old slot cornerback began his career with the Saints and Colts and ended it with the Lions, but made the bulk of his impact from 2019-2024 with the Jets, Steelers, and Ravens. Maulet made major noise as a hard-hitting cornerback in the AFC North, going from the Steelers to the Ravens in 2023 and starting a playoff game for Mike Macdonald’s historic Ravens defense. He retires with five career interceptions and five sacks.

Maulet was released by the Ravens in March before landing in Houston on a one-year contract. He was held to just three appearances in 2024 due to multiple knee injuries and a calf injury, requiring two trips to injured reserve, but looked spry in workout videos released earlier Monday on X. Maulet should serve in a reserve role behind established starters Derek Stingley, Kamari Lassiter, and Jalen Pitre.

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports the Ravens are planning to release Maulet after an injury-riddled 2024. He had a strong 2023 as the Ravens’ slot corner, re-signing with the team last offseason. However, he hit injured reserve to begin the 2024 season and played just three games. The 31-year-old will look for a new home as a rotational defensive back.
