Weddle Chose Baltimore Over Pittsburgh

Including the Ravens, Weddle had received contract offers from four teams. One of the other teams in the mix was the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens rivals wanted Weddle badly, for the same reasons. Their secondary has struggled in recent years as well. Weddle would have been a player you don’t want the Ravens playing twice per season. This is a huge move that helps the Ravens in the fight for the AFC North.

Ravens fans now have another way to annoy Steelers fans. To steal a line from comedian Daniel Tosh, “And for that we thank you,” Mr. Newsome. Not only did the Ravens help themselves but they put the Steelers in plan B mode. If the Ravens secondary improves dramatically and the Steelers secondary struggles, this move will be remembered as a pivotal one in the AFC North.

The Ravens have beaten the Steelers three games in a row. They have had the upper hand in the past few seasons against the Steelers. Now the Ravens have found a way to beat their arch enemy in the offseason, and I feel fine!
