Got a Twitter alert this morning about Eric Weddle

[Ruff]

Woke up, and twitter alerted me that Bill Voth, Black and Blue Review, and some other Charlotte based writer had randomly followed Eric Weddle. 

Hm. 

[Verge]

Oh

He will be a Panther next season. So it is written - so it shall come to pass.

[Jackofalltrades]

I hope so.

A San Diego writer seems to think it's very possible

Isn't he pretty old for a safety?  Is the speed there?  I don't think there is anything special about him.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

Who is Eric Weddle? Sounds like a clone Harper

[DaveThePanther2008]

Not against it as long as he has the speed to do it.

Who is Eric Weddle? Sounds like a clone Harper. Looks like squeelers were interested also

Seems like the type we would go after. Especially with the Rivera and Wilkes connections

Yeah he played SS at a high level for Rivera, so why not. I'd also draft a younger SS though.

I'm not against it, actually would like to see him brough in.

at the same time- when are we going to see Boston get an opportunity as a full time starter? It seems we keep bringing in stopgap after stopgap instead of offering the job to Boston. I'm fine with competition, but if we bring in Weddle it's a clear sign that Boston will never be a full time starter for us.

He would be an upgrade over Harper but I wanna see Boston start too.

Weddle is a FS, Boston is a SS. We'd probably move Coleman to SS and keep Tre as a solid back-up. He's just not the caliber of playmaker we need back there.
