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.

    • Core pieces locked up, youth movement filling in elsewhere, not ideal to let a lot of great talent walk but I honestly don't hate it. It's kinda exciting, as we legitimately do have great prospects that will need spots to play in. Need to get Jarvis locked up for 8 and I'd also put the focus on keeping Necas for like 6 years.   I also think we'll make a big splash in FA or trade within the next year or two once the right opportunity presents itself. Like really big splash to add to the core. Still think we make the playoffs this season but possibly as a wildcard. Next year Nikishin arrives along with the potential splash and young guys continuing to develop and I think we're back to being contenders year in year out. Not writing off next year by any means but yeah we've gotten worse and I don't consider us top contenders going into next year, for the first time in probably 5 years.
    • I like Martinook, but this is an objective overpay for a dude who cleared waivers months ago
    • Record doesn't really matter to me, just whether Bryce takes a step further.
