That dude hits so hard he leaves them "Tone Jeff " (Tony Jefferson) !!?? Maybe, maybe???

That's a pretty good deal l thought it would cost a lot more to get a playmaker of his caliber.

[Saxxin]

If you are against this signing you're just trolling. Now either cut Webb or restructure his contract.

True beast!!!! Finally

Wow 9 mil is a bit more than I expected but heck, if your gonna over pay a bit then a 25 year old playmaker is where you do it!

[Crusader]

I just hope he works out better than the last time Ravens tried NFC safety.

in box safety and nothing more.. thats all we getting

I don't think he was overpaid at all. Great work FO

lol. First of all, that's essentially what a SS is. But, you're also wrong. The dude can play FS and cover, and blitz better than most dbs. Amazing pick up

This not only fills a need but this guy is a play maker in his prime, that is getting better every year. He's also hungry and plays like a Raven on the field. He will be a fan favorite in no time.
He is one of the best Safeties in the game right now, and our defense is only going to make him better.
I thought he was going to cost a bit more
Considering price tag, age, position, the whole FA market ( weak),....taking everything into consideration, this might've been the best FA to sign this year.
I'm incredibly impressed with his film. Our D next year.......we'll still add a corner, or two, and another pass rusher. And the ILB spot will be Way easier to fill than most think imo.
Great job FO

Don't get me wrong, I love the move and love the player! I just feel like 9 mil is a bit too much in comparison to weddle who's averaging 6.5 per year and Jefferson was expected to get around 7 mil per year in FA

That film is impressive to say the least. I went back and watched 4 cardinals games against good QBs last year. This guy literally plays like an undersized LB close to the line and his cover skills are not bad at all! He can man up with most TEs if needed.

i wouldn't be surprised if he plays ILB on third and long. He can literally line up anywhere pre snap and mark just about anyone other than #1 WRs.

organized chaos....?

Exactly what I was thinking. STOKED

[Crusader]

9 million for those kind of 4 year stats? For 4 years nobody tried to throw his direction? We'll see how good he does against Arron, Derek, Rivers and Ben this year. Welcome to the AFC big boys table.

[Ravensfolyfe]

I like the moves we making,keep working on the corners so we can shut down offense's.

[Crusader]

Cordrea Tankersley or WRs' Worst Nightmare Jourdan Lewis would be great in our secondary.
