This is huge.

telling ya Nick Perry is going to give Elam a run for his money in camp....

[RavensAllDay1987]

Will Hill has the size and skill to be one of the top Safeties in the game, He absolutely plays like a Raven, he Plays fast, physical pissed off football, and I hope he stays focused and earns a contract extension with our Ravens.

[BallsoHard622]

I hope he can stay out of trouble for the rest of his career an sign a long contract with the Ravens. The guy has played really well especially after being suspended for six games. Let's hope he has another good year so we can give him a long term contract.

[JimmyS#22]

Absolutely the best player we have on D .. him and Jimmy Smith... couldnt be happier.... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS..

[steelcityraven]

Great to have Will Hill back... I am excited at what he and Kendricks can mean in our DB... that solidifies that safety position and allows for Elam and Brooks the time to further develop! Great signing.... and to have that type of talent playing for that small of a contract.... Great!

[Ravenslifer]

My guess is he signs a long-term deal before next season's end. And I really hope he does - I have a feeling he's going to have a lot of options if he's allowed to hit FA next offseason.

YES!!!

[Mystigo_Dragon]

I'd like to see him turn in a pro bowl-worthy year and re-nego for a longer contract! We cannot let guys like him and Corey Graham just walk!

I'd like to see that happen before he does a Corey Graham too!

Better than Mosely, Suggs, Dumervil and D. Smith??  Come on man!!

[The Greek]

we have a very strong secondary if everyone stays healthy and guys like elam and the younger guys continue to improve but please please please lord cut this team some slack with the injuries. thank you kindly in advance

[RavensReck27]

I really like Will Hill. Resigning Will Hill to a long term deal next offseason will depend on if Ozzie thinks Terrence Brooks can come back healthy and show signs that he can be the starter next year at FS. So far, we are looking to be in pretty good shape with cap room next offseason. So I think even if Terrence Brooks lights it up when he comes back, we should still keep Will Hill for the future since he brings so much to the table. We are FINE at Safety this season.

If he pans out like we all believes he will and his relationship with the Ravens stays as favorable as it's been, this is probably one of our best "hidden gem" signings ever. This dude has some serious talent and gives our secondary an amazing boost in flexibility.

[RavensInNC]

I hope he continues to play well and we can sign him for a contract on the cheap since he gave him another chance to play after being suspended so much.

[Godfather A]

Matt Elam might do better this year with a secondary that doesn't have to move him to a different position every week due to injuries.

[ravensrock007]

Look forward to Will kicking some butt out there.

[ellicottraven]

Thank you Will Hill! Now try and prove that you are a capable replacement for the inimitable Ed Reed! Tall order but something to strive for being a Baltimore Raven!

[Bandit666]

I'm glad Will is back. If he stays clean and plays like a Raven, he will get that big contract next year.

[RavensReck27]

I just love how young Will Hill is. This will be his first whole season as long as he stays healthy and doesn't get suspended. He will start the training camp starting at FS. That experience will help him grow as well. My only concern is that if Hill crushes it this season that he will draw a lot of suiters next offseason. I REALLY like Terrence Brooks, and I hope he gets healthy ASAP, but I think Will Hill can be great with us.

He has all the tools needed to earn a pay day. The league just needs to take marijuana off of the illegal substance list. In no way does it enhance a player's performance, but I'm sure it helps some players through the off days when they're recovering from all the physical abuse they put themselves through in order to keep the sport popular.

[RavensReck27]

FS Ed Reed retires, and FS Will Hill signs on the same day. I think thats a cool omen.

[JetLife94]

He's listed as a SS. I know he can play both positions but which one does he play better? I'd like a permanant spot for him instead of dean pees safety rotation. Unless that was for lack of depth last year.

They probably won't do that until the feds legalize it

[Pharaoh]

If our CB's stay healthy this year I can see Will Hill having a big year

He's played at FS most of his career.

 

The boundary between FS and SS has been slowly but steadily disappearing though, so who knows... 

[Ravn5592]

So glad this happened, its going to be interesting how the safety position plays out with Hill, Lewis and Elam. I still think Elam could be effective if we put him in a position that suits his skill set. More near the line of scrimmage in run support.

[January J]

I thought he already signed weeks ago

[boldtown]

ed retiring. will signing, tucker signing, the new draftees and brady being branded as a cheater. guess you better read the rule book, tom. the anticipation of the new season is titillating.
