With Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata due $8.5 million with a $16 million cap hit for next season, the Ravens have informed Ngata that he'll need to take a pay cut if he wants to play for the team in 2015, reports The Baltimore Sun.

Ngata, 31, has played his entire nine-year career with the Ravens. His agent is expected to meet with the Ravens soon to discuss restructuring Ngata's contract. Ngata was suspended for four games in 2014 for violating the league's drug policy.
