Welcome to Baltimore Eric Weddle!

[757RavensFan]

Welcoming our new free safety to the Ravens. 

[1/28/01]

Thank goodness!  Quality pickup. 

[cobrajet]

I thought for sure the Raiders would outbid us.

[rafahash]

Would now be a good time to ask if Ozzie is losing his touch? Great signing.

[PurpleCity5]

Well, that's really great. I ruled him out because I didn't think that it would happen but man, I am happy. 

[Purple_City39]

I may be in the minority but I don't like it for the price.  4 years, 26M to add a 14th safety to the roster.  I guess we'll see how many safeties are getting cut soon.  I'm guessing Lewis, Elam, and Hill.

For the record I'm fine with the player, just not the price

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Game changer

[JO_75]

Now we know why Ozzie was clearing cap. Amazing signing by the Wizard of Oz once again!

Do you actually think we're cutting Will Hill? Seriously?

 

Also, Eric Weddle is a game changer, not th "14th safety to the roster".

[berad]

Very interested to see who we keep at safety

[Deflated Football]

Perfect fit for our defense! Welcome, Weddle!

[edthehead]

By "14th safety" I was referring to the total number in a sarcastic tone, not his place on the depth chart.  And Hill is definitely a possibility given how many snaps he started losing at the end of the season, while healthy, and his almost 3M savings if released

[GrimCoconut]

This could very well be just what this team needed. An elite FS is what's hurt our chances at a repeat. Love the move if he's the same Weddle, and I see no reason he's not.

FEAR THE BEARD!!!

Lol Will Hill getting cut. Ravens have one of the best duos @ safety position right now. It was a great signing. I couldn't care less about Elam or Lewis. They both suck

[757RavensFan]

Signing Weddle has to be an absolute gut punch to Elam and Brooks.  Oh well we're in win now mode.  

The best 11 defenders will earn their way on the field.

Brookes will probably stay on the roster for atleast one more season. Too much potential, not enough time to learn the position. Elam on the other hand. I feel really sorry for the guy, but he's just not good enough. Maybe a change of scenery will help him improve.

Great signing.

What comes next? 

Would love for Webb to restructure and lower his cap number, maybe even ask Hill and Elam to do the same.  I would think that all 3 may also have some trade value if we wanted to get the contract off the books and pick up another asset.

I don't think he's ironclad, either. He blew a good number of coverages and had his share of lapses. Guess it's on the FO/coaches to determine whether those were his slip-ups, whether he he was covering up for someone else, scheme, etc.

That said, in my amateur opinion, I'd like him back. Still, what do we do with an expensive Webb and underwhelming Elam and Lewis?

[HomeoftheBRAVENS]

We got Weedle???

 

[redrum52]

Much welcomed addition.  This makes the draft that much more interesting.  Still say corner or trade down.  

 

Let's get it fellas

[flynismo]

Wow...Weddle and Hill is a pretty wicked combo at Safety. Well done

[Cillmatic]

Current mood:

[Cville-Raven]

Wow I did not think this would happen
