M.10.E Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This could be a very weird looking defense next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Obviously EDC didn't think leadership and disguised coverages was worth $7.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 what i said in the other thread: I do NOT want Landon Collins like some will say. A safety group of him and Jefferson will get beat deep 10 times a game. Sign Earl Thomas or Honey Badger or Draft Nasir Adderly or Just start Chuck Clark. All 3 better options than spending $ on Collins imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensfanRD Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Would love to see them get the heist of a century by signing Earl Thomas. No way I could see that actually happening, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BareYourTeeth Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Earl Thomas would only cost around $10 mil a year right? We do play Seattle this year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a few more options in the draft with some ability, but these are all the key players in the situation right now. It's just unfortunate we can't curb Jefferson because of his ridiculous contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can and I bet we will let Jefferson go. His contract was made for a potential exit after two years. They basically guaranteed the first two years and gave and at this point they have to decide if he's worth $8M for 2019 (and potentially $7M for 2020). I certainly expect the answer to that to be no.

DreamKid Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Completely justified reverence for Weddle's character seems to be distorting the reality of him on the field for some people. Some of the reactions to us letting him go are really out there, from fans and media alike. Eric brought some commendable aspects to our defense, but to deny that his limitations and weaknesses frequently outweighed any positives is not assessing the situation correctly imo.

There are 4 options for the Ravens: OPTION 1: Let Tony Jefferson go now 2018 cap hit: $8.82M 2019 cap hit: $0 OPTION 2: Keep Tony Jefferson for 2019 and cut him in 2020 2018 cap hit: $12.66M 2019 cap hit: $4.17M OPTION 3: Keep Tony Jefferson for 2 more years 2018 cap hit: $12.66M 2019 cap hit: $11.17M OPTION 4: Extend Tony Jefferson... It's really as simple as: "Do you want to pay $8M in 2019 for Tony Jefferson?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we can cut him, and rightfully promote Chuck Clark. Then add a true FS to the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
