The Baltimore Ravens cut veteran safety Eric Weddle earlier this week, just hours after the news that the New York Giants would not use their franchise tag on All-Pro safety Landon Collins and allow him to hit the open market.
Weddle and Collins joined a free-agent market littered with safeties old and young — likely welcome news for the Washington Redskins, who are thinner at safety than at almost any other position.
Remember how 2018 ended: D.J. Swearinger — a 27-year-old Pro Bowl alternate — was cut before Week 17 after criticizing the coaching staff and its decisions one time too many.
