Ihedigbo has done well here and that's all that matters. No team is going to overpay for him. We really like him. I expect that he's back. He won't break the bank. The FS class in the draft and free agency is very weak. I fully expect Elam to remain at FS and Ihedigbo to remain at SS.

It's not like it's an either or choice. If we want someone like Jacoby back, it's going to be Jacoby and Ihedigbo, not Jacoby or Ihedigbo. He'll be cheap enough to where he won't force our hand.

You don't think another team with more cap wouldn't just offer him a better deal ? Isn't cincy in desperate need of better safeties and has tons of cap space? This team needs fresh talent infusions not retreads that force your 1st round pick to play out of position

Exactly. He won't be expensive at all, and with what he brings to the table, I don't see them letting him walk. I'd predict somewhere in the 2 year for $4M range. He's probably earned a bit above the minimum he's made the past 2 years, but as you said, he's 30 and a SS. He won't command enough that would keep us from re-signing guys like Jacoby and Daryl if we really wanted them.

I doubt he is back , there is a reason he has been a career backup and somebody will overpay for him , hopefully .

I still don't see him returning , he will want to get paid and ravens have bigger needs to resign next year - art Jones , pitta ( hopefully small / minimum deal since injury) , monroe, oher (hopefully not), etc

Zero chance, will command/want too much money. Team needs to draft a top tier receiver to go along with Smith and Brown.

Reed needs to just shut up

NO NO NO. I highely doubt he would fit into harboughs coaching staff as well, I believe they butted heads and as was said before as a player he is toast and I think the combo of Elam and Ihedigbo are better than any combo with Reed in it currently
