 So over the weekend there have been some rumors circulating that Eric Wettel had received a couple of different contract offers from some different teams and one was even an AFC North team but he said that he had to turn it down but at the same time while he did turn those offers down it was said that he was actually still open to coming out of retirement to play and one of the teams that it was said that he was open to coming out of retirement to play for was one that he already played for a few years back that being the Baltimore Ravens and when Eric Wettel was here he was cool he's very outspoken but not outspoken in a bad way like one of our recent safeties was but he was outspoken in a great way he was a team leader he was the ultimate communicator on the Ravens defense he was the piece that really helped that unit jail and helped that unit click but when I heard about Eric Wettel possibly not minding returning to the Ravens I was cool on that I was like yeah I don't think that I don't think that would really be in their best interest because I know there were a lot of people that were hot on the idea but I was I was ice cold to it even ice cold in the coldest water and he already checked them out make sure you check out their website in the description so you can shop your coldest water using Graven Viz the code for 10% off and also you can get into their weekly giveaways they got so many giveaways every week man it's so easy to enter all you gotta do is put your email and that's it so that's a no-brainer but I also also think it's a no-brainer for the Ravens to pass on this and I don't expect there to be any interest from the Ravens but I don't think there is any reason for there to be any interest because while Eric Wettel was cool when he was here like I said he ultimate communicator he was the one relaying all the defensive calls to the team he was the one getting everybody lined up getting every everybody in position Eric Wettel did his thing when he was here but something else that we noticed every year that he played here was that his body continued to slow down he was smart smart smart smart smart he knew what the plays were he was good at dissecting the plays analyzing the plays and knowing exactly what was coming but his body it's body just couldn't keep up he was slowly breaking down slowly but he was breaking down nonetheless still was a solid player even in his last year but it just it was time it was time and again this is where Eric the Costa this is why he has been such a good GM here well actually he's been pretty great GM he's had some misses now so let's not act like Eric the Costa hit on every single thing that he's done he doesn't have some misses but his makes they outweigh the misses by far but one thing with Eric the Costa that he's shown to us as Ravens fans and just really to the NFL is that he don't care how much you liked in the locker room he respects it but that's not gonna change his decision on whether it's time for you to go if he feels your time is up and that you can no longer contribute to the Ravens and that you're no longer needed he will cut you he will cut you he will release you he will trade you he will get you up out of there and of course it's nothing personal well maybe with the last safety we had in mind a little personal but usually it's nothing personal it's strictly business and Eric the Costa keeps a strictly business and he usually does what's best for business and for Eric Weddo he could come back sure I'm sure he's still got a little bit left in him he can come back but what will he be a rotational guy would that be what he would do but even then what if while he's in on in on a rotation what if somebody's coming right at him because you know players in the NFL now a faster than ever and of course not everybody is a Tyreek Hill but every time I just whenever whenever I think about Eric Weddo I think about Tyreek Hill Eric Weddo one-on-one and a lot of guys will lose that match up but I just remember that match up specifically when Eric Weddo was one-on-one with Tyreek Hill Tyreek Hill was in the backfield Eric Weddo was just standing there Tyreek Hill looked at him he just ran right past he ran right past me again like I said I know Tyreek Hill would do that to a lot of people and he still does it to a lot of people but we've seen a countless number of plays with Eric Weddo just he couldn't do it anymore and then he went to the Rams and he did all right there he wasn't bad but even the Rams they said okay thanks a little but that's it that's it and they were even gonna he wasn't gonna be a starter anymore he was not gonna be a starter anymore so when they said that he wasn't gonna be a starter Eric Weddo said oh okay no I'm let me go ahead and go ahead and retire because I'm not gonna be a backup so with Eric Weddo and I know there's been also there have been talk about Tony Jefferson too about him possibly coming back to the Ravens and I just I don't feel like again both of those guys great for the locker room they will both be great for the locker room both were leaders both they were so cool with each other they're cool with everything you never hear a peep out of anybody talking about either one of those two as a bad teammate you never and to on top of that you hear so many great things about both of them as teammates you hear that man but I just don't feel like there would be a place for either one right now with the Ravens I just I don't I don't see it I don't the thing that the Ravens are missing right now and they have been shading it as much as they can of course they've been put Marlon Humphrey there a lot but the thing that they're missing is a slot cornerback and Eric Weddo he ain't covering the slot Tony Jefferson ain't covering the slot they could of course be nice depth as safety they'll be nice depth as safety but more so Tony Jefferson and Eric Weddo but box safety and I feel like at this point in his career Eric Weddo will be more he'll be better as a box safety even though I think that he would even struggle but there were some times where again it happens to everybody it's not just Eric Weddo but there was some time you get run over he'll be right there but he'll just get run over and like I said anybody it could happen to anybody but again his his body was just breaking down so I just I don't think a reunion needs to happen I don't think a reunion should happen even with Tony Jefferson man I am nice for the locker room before on the field I just I don't think it's a necessity it would be a big-time luxury if they were to bring Tony Jefferson back and then it's like hmm if you bring Tony Jefferson back who's out who's gone because he would take up a roster spot obviously so somebody would have to vacate their roster spot but if if Eric Weddo does end up coming back you know one thing to think about too because they said there was one AFC North team so I would think that it would be the Browns because they lost their safety Grand Delford and Eric Weddo is not I mean Grand Delford is obviously much younger than Eric Weddo so he's on the up and up and Eric Weddo is on the down and down but I would think that it was them but you really never know it could have been the Bengals could have been the Steelers you know still still is one of him before he they wanted it before Raven sign up Steelers had one of them but he ended up choosing the Ravens wow that seems like that was so long ago was that three four years ago think was four years ago something like that wow that's crazy Eric Weddo he well and and Eric Weddo the thing with him that I love is that he got so much respect from Ravens fans from the Ravens players from the Ravens front office he got crazy respect and like when you hear Ravens fans talk like it is crazy because with Eric Weddo he he only played for the Ravens what three years and when you hear Ravens fans talk about Eric Weddo you would think this dude was here for like six seven ten years man that's the the respect that this guy has man you would think that this dude played for the Ravens his entire career something like that I'm sure he probably he probably wishes he would had but not Eric Weddo help the Ravens get a Super Bowl man Eric Weddo he was part of the Raven Super Bowl run because and called bolder I think I think he ended up running oh no he had no Ray Rice I think Ray Rice ended up running over Eric Weddo in that play did he give Eric Weddo a stiff arm on that fourth and 29 that was actually short but we wasn't complaining but anyway cuz he was on that charges team well that was a nice comeback game too wow but anyway this this doesn't need to happen it has no reason to happen the only thing that he should come back to the Ravens for would be to coach but I'm sure he doesn't want to coach if he wants to play okay well go play but I just I don't think it would be a good fit for him with the Ravens right now because they they are trying to get faster they need to get a little smarter on defense they had some breakdowns and communications not last week but against the Chiefs so I think with them the biggest thing that he could come back for would be to be a motivator and somebody that could keep their energy up and somebody that could possibly help them just remain focused even when things get hard because that's one thing that's one area where the Ravens seem to lack is to remain focused when things get tough when things are not going in their favor that's where they're lacking that and if Eric Weddo gonna come back to the Ravens do that oh okay well hey bring them on bring them on every time that the Ravens are down by three or more points bring them down every time that the Ravens play the Chiefs bring them down when the Ravens in the playoffs cuz that's what we need so anyway team keep it clean I appreciate y'all I love y'all and I'm out
