Chris Conte

Conte has a solid season for a revitalized Buccaneers team. He has combined for 67 tackles and 2 interceptions on the season.

Bringing in Conte and pairing him with Eric Weddle could make the Ravens secondary very dangerous.  Current free safety Lardarius Webb has had a good season, but is getting up there in age. He is under contract with the Ravens for the 2017 season and then will be an unrestricted free agent in 2018. It is unsure if he will return, so Conte could be a cheaper and younger option. Aside from Webb, there are not many other options at the free safety position. Matt Elam has struggled since being drafted in 2013 and will probably not see much playing time in the future.
