Just saw this.
Hope it doesn't bite the Steelers...seemed he was headed that way.

I thought he wanted to go to a contender
RE: Ravens sign Eric Weddle - Bmoreblitz - 03-14-2016
This guy is good, might not be as fast as he once was, but he has an extremely high football IQ, can play center field. Hope they won't see receivers inexplicably running wide open through the secondary nearly as often.

Looks like a good acquisition.

This is a solid signing by Ozzie maybe. Of Course Weddle is older so high risk of wasted dollars if he is injured. The Ravens have a history of late of lots of dead cap money.

Great signing by the Ravens...unfortunately.

Here goes Mr Capologist again
It looks like they actually did more of a front-loaded contract for him - 4 years/$26M with only $13M guaranteed, and $9M the first year. If (and it's a big if) he's got nothing left, then his contract doesn't prevent him from being cut due to a lot of dead money.

seems a bit high in pay.. 2nd highest contract for a free safety at his age and a down year last year.. I am glad they signed him over Nelson though.. Nelson has much more upside after last season.

Lets see how it works out.

Nope doesn't explain Weddle. Safety was an area that needed addressing. However they now cut Hill instead of cutting Webb, Elam, Lewis.

It explains Hill was an idiot. He was already on a very short leash. I thought this time was going to be a year long ban. At his salary what team wouldn't have cut him??
RE: Ravens sign Eric Weddle - BmorePat87 - 03-17-2016
Skill-wise, Webb should have been cut. Hill, though, was a bit boneheaded and cutting him over Webb helps more with cap.

I totally agree, he is an idiot and even though the cost was a lot of dead money for the Ravens, he needed to go. It was a no brainer.
