The Baltimore Ravens and Eric Weddle had big plans when they joined forces first in 2016. They needed a safety on the back end who could lead their defense after missing on the position in the draft and free agency a couple of times. He needed a new home after having a falling out with the Chargers.
While Weddle elevated his play, and the defense, back toward the top of the league, they came well short of their team goals. In the three seasons since he signed, they only reached the playoffs in 2018, and it took the final week of the regular season to do so.
