The Baltimore Ravens may have released Eric Weddle, but with the way that both sides have spoken to each other, it certainly doesn’t sound as though any bridges have been burnt. By and large, the 34-year-old safety was a salary cap casualty heading into the final year of his contract.
That fact may be confirmed, like—right now, at 11 AM, as the Ravens are about the announce the extension of one of their pending free agents, which as of the time of this writing is not known. It could be that Weddle’s salary cap relief, which was significant, helped them be able to lock this player up ahead of the start of free agency.
