tsylvester Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Yes, he is 31, but he is a ball hawk who knows how to play safety. A poaition this team needs badly and has missed on in the draft since Will Demps (that was for you Dee ) ... He cod be a stop gap. Currently, he is looking over school systems in the areas of the four teams-Raiders, Cowboys, Steelers the other three.  Pending the age of his kids, I would say if it came down to schools and areas, the Ravens have the edge. With the practice facility and HQ being in OwingsMills, the school systems and area are very, very good. Some of the best in the nation, the best if he has a special needs child. He covers well, hits hard and still has the quickness to blitz. I think he would be a good fit here.  http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25514559/report-eric-weddle-has-offers-from-4-teams-will-respond-by-monday
OutsideRzAcE Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Every time I watch Weddle play I come away wishing he was on our team. He plays football like the Ravens did in the Ray Lewis/Marvin Lewis/Rex Ryan era. (It's a shame I can't just say he plays Raven football, but I digress)Â Slight concern about injuries....I know he missed some time last year and his body could be on the decline. He plays a punishing style of football for a little guy.
thundercleetz Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 He's an UFA, right? 31-years old too. I would pass, don't want to give up the comp pick.
varaven45 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I see him ending up in Oakland or Pittsburgh. Gut feeling
cravnravn Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Pittsburgh is looking at Okung as well.Hopefully they are looking at Wallace too.
thundercleetz Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 We are Wallace's first FA visit. I wonder if we will try to make sure he doesn't leave without a contract.
Robjr83 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Ok Weddle is official ......really mixed feelings over paying a 31yo safety.... what happens to the Webb to FS move?

Robjr83 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Does he help this team next year...yes..... its the long haul I'm worried about....
tsylvester Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Does he help this team next year...yes..... its the long haul I'm worried about.... If they draft right, they only need him for 2 maybe 3 years.
varaven45 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Glad I was dead wrong in weddle. Diggin it that we got him and Pittsburg didn't.
oldno82 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 He's a very good player but was it wise to spend $$ on him rather than an LT or pass rusher? Well there's no question the guy can hit: http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Eric-Weddle-Game-Highlights/88e1231c-8771-4ba1-b3bf-1c00f5e6a513
