Ravens cut Eric Weddle

I would like Weddle depending on the price. Perfect stop gap and knows Rivera’s scheme. Tashaun Gipson is also available in a trade. DRC is coming out of retirement too. He’d be an intriguing option at FS.

Edit: Just checked Gipson’s contract. $9M per for the next 2 years. Too rich for my blood unless we trade and extend to lower his cap hit. He’s only 28. 

Also the Jags can cut him and save $7M in cap while being just shy of $2M in dead cap. So I would keep an eye on Gipson being cut if the Jags are unable to find a trade partner.

Weddle would be a fantastic signing, obviously we wouldn't give anything crazy, but we could still draft a safety to groom it would just be less of a risk or we can go full on defensive/offensive line.   With the defensive line issues we're going to have (or possibly) it wouldn't be a bad idea to bolster the secondary.

Top 10 FS last year.   He's not long term fix but it would would obviously be better than throwing a rookie out there and hoping for the best.

Or Gualden. I'm sorry but that was another terrible pick. He would have never got drafted if it wasn't for us.

Wonder how much he’s asking for then. At least it shows the Panthers are looking for a FS. I hope this is genuine interest and not the Panthers trying to low ball Weddle or just getting more of Ron’s boys.

I bet they could make the numbers work without Torrey Smith's money on the books.    How many years has safety been bad for us?

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
