Ravens Cut Safety Eric Weddle, Reports Say

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The Ravens have decided to let go of safety Eric Weddle, an NFL.com source said Tuesday.

Ian Rapport with NFL.com was the first to report.

Weddle came to Baltimore from San Diego in 2016.

Before coming to Baltimore, Weddle played nine seasons with the Chargers.

As a Raven, Weddle played in 48 games.

In those 48 games, Weddle recorded 151 tackles, 10 interceptions, three forced fumbles and one touchdown.

Weddle is also a six-time Pro-Bowler.

This offseason, Weddle said he planned to retire if he did not resign with the Ravens, but eluded to playing next season on Twitter.

Weddle's release will create $7.5 million in cap room for the Ravens.
