During the offseason, the Ravens upgraded their receiving corps and brought in John Brown, Michael Crabtree and Willie Snead.

Perriman was beset by injuries -- he missed his enter rookie season with an injury -- and drops.

He had a solid preseason and led the Ravens with 11 receptions and 136 yards. He knew he was in danger of being waived.

"In my opinion, I feel like I had a good camp and a good preseason," Perriman told reporters. "But there are a lot of things that go behind it. Once the decision has been made, I'll deal with it then."

Perriman is the first first-round pick in Ravens franchise history to get cut before finishing up his rookie contract, according to profootballtalk.com
