Exactly. He's still a quality player. Maybe he's washed up now and the Ravens know it, but he's likely a better option at FS than anyone else we could reasonably land this off-season. FS should still be high on our draft needs in case the right situation presented itself.

why? Isnt Reid a SS and Weddle a FS?

Weddle has been an all around great safety for most of his career, excelling in both coverage and run support like an Earl Thomas. However, last year he had a fairly significant drop off in coverage while remaining great in run support. He had 3 PD and no picks in 16 starts last year after having a combined 10 picks and 21 PD the previous 2 years. We need a safety capable of playing center field in coverage, not another one who at this point in his career should be closer to the LoS like Reid.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
