Ravens gain $6.3M of cap space thanks to June 1 designations
Ravens gain $6.3M of cap space thanks to June 1 designations The Baltimore Ravens gain $6.3 million in salary cap space with the release of Justin Tucker and Marcus Williams under June 1 designations. It's not the official start of summer in the NFL, but June 1 is a massive date around the league and will likely play a factor in several players moving on or teams taking a risk on a considerable trade. In NFL terminology, June 1 is the final day that teams see all future prorated money accelerate as 'dead money' if a player is released. Teams like the Ravens and others around the NFL will also gain salary cap space, as any player designated for a post-June one release earlier this year will move from the active roster to the dead money side of the books. Baltimore released Marcus Williams and Justin Tucker for performance issues. That salary cap relief will kick in today. June 1 impact June 1 marks the final day of the NFL calendar when a player is cut or traded; any future bonus money accelerates into the 2025 league year. Starting tomorrow, the rules allow the team to defer all that acceleration to 2025 if they release a player. June 2nd also marks when the NFL will officially process the post-June 1 designations. Starting Thursday, June 2, any released player will only have his current season's prorated money count against the salary cap, and the rest will be deferred to 2026. Marcus Williams The Ravens released Marcus Williams before the start of free agency. According to Over The Cap, Williams' cap numbers drop from $8.13 million to $6.03 million in 2025. He will also count for $6.03 million in 2026. Justin Tucker By releasing Justin Tucker after the NFL draft with a post-June 1 designation, his cap number drops from $7.0725 to $2.8725 million. The team will have $4.645 million in dead money in 2026. Michael Pierce Pierce is retiring, but leaves the Ravens with $667,000 in dead money and $1,255,000 cap savings. What is dead cap money in the NFL? Dead money, which is also known as "dead cap space" or simply "dead cap." Dead money is a salary cap charge for a player no longer on a team's roster. Typically, it stems from guaranteed money already given to a player in the form of signing bonuses, who is either released, traded, or retires. In the event that the team and player part ways before the end of the contract, whether it's via a release, trade, or retirement, the remaining prorated bonus accelerates onto the team's current salary cap. That creates the dead money charge, which ensures the total value of the contract paid by the team matches the overall cap charges the player accrued while with the organization. According to Over The Cap, Baltimore will carry $20,392,396 in dead money. Odell Beckham Jr.$8,301,000 Ronnie Stanley$8,168,250 Nelson Agholor$3,283,000 Arthur Maulet$250,000 Damarion Williams$126,084 Devin Leary$103,791 TOTAL $20,392,396

AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Walsall: Hippolyte the hero as Dons hold on through nervy second half to confirm promotion
Myles Hippolyte scored the match-winning goal as AFC Wimbledon secured promotion to League One with a 1-0 win against Walsall in the League Two play-off final. The Dons went ahead on the stroke of half-time thanks to a thunderous strike from Hippolyte. Johnnie Jackson's side had to ride their luck during a thrilling second half, with Riley Harbottle clearing Jamille Matt's effort off the line. However, Wimbledon held on to write another chapter in the club's remarkable story. Hippolyte drove into the opposition box during the early stages of the match, only for Birmingham loanee Alfie Chang to react well and force the ball behind for a goal kick. Hippolyte turned provider in the 14th minute, dinking a delightful delivery into the path of Dons top scorer Matty Stevens, but the striker could not react quickly enough to prod the cross past Tommy Simkin. Hippolyte continued his lively start to the match with a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but his attempt drifted wide of the right post. Marcus Browne was the next Dons player to take aim from distance. His strike looked destined to nestle in the bottom-right corner, but Simkin was there to make a crucial save. Stevens put Alistair Smith through on goal in the 38th minute but, to Walsall's relief, the Dons midfielder took too long to get his shot away, allowing Taylor Allen to get back and make a brilliant challenge. Hippolyte was rewarded for a sensational first-half performance in the second minute of added time. The ball fell to him on the edge of the box following a Dons corner, and he blasted it into the back of the net with a left-footed half-volley. Walsall came out of the blocks firing after half-time, and the pressure almost told in the 49th minute when Matt turned Nathan Asiimwe's cross towards goal. However, Harbottle was able to clear the ball off the line and keep his side in the lead. As the heavens opened above Wembley, Allen drove a delivery across the face of goal, but nobody got a touch on it and Wimbledon survived the storm. Levi Amantchi came off the bench in the 63rd minute, and he had an excellent chance to equalise with his second touch of the game after bursting past Joe Lewis. The Dons fans breathed a sigh of relief, though, when the forward directed his shot straight down the throat of League Two golden glove winner Owen Goodman. Josh Neufville then went one-on-one with the keeper, but his shot from a tight angle produced another excellent save from Simkin. David Okagbue sent a wild effort over the crossbar with four minutes remaining after the ball fell to him inside the box. Walsall failed to carve out any more clear-cut chances as the Dons held on to secure promotion back to League One.

'A scene of jubilation and celebration as Dons parade the Scottish Cup'
When Aberdeen last won the Scottish Cup in 1990, I was on a bus embarking on a school trip to Germany, listening to it all unfold on my pocket radio. So being at the celebrations really hammered home how long – too long – it has been since the club last won this trophy, and what it means to the city. The Dons fans lined the streets in their thousands - well into the tens of thousands, in fact - as the open-topped bus weaved its way through the city centre. They were in fine voice too, with 'Shinnie, he is one of our own' and the now trademark 'Shady Mo' song being among the choruses belted out as the bus crawled through the throng which filled the granite streets. Prior to the final, there was a mood of trepidation, and very little expectation among the Red Army. What a difference a day can make – this was a scene of jubilation and celebration. It was a fitting reception for the Aberdeen players and staff, who now have their names etched in to the club's history books. As they took it in turns to hold the trophy aloft from the balcony at the Town House at the Castlegate end of Union Street, each lift was greeted with delirious joy. Of course, the challenge will be to build on this success. But this was about savouring the moment, one which saw a city and its football team united as one.
