So much for safeties not being considered  
figgy2989 : 3/13/2019 12:21 pm : link
a premium position to pay for and allocate significant cap space to!
Ravens are really weird

right now. Can't figure them out. They could easily be running the wishbone on offense while trying to defend the air raid attack on defense.

Hold on - this guy is a great, great player. A HoF first ballot guy. Ravens probably overpaid, pending the details of the contract, this is a difference maker of defense.

They obviously view him as Ed Reed, part deaux.
Mark Ingram to Ravens as well.

3 years $15M
Wow, after losing players the last few days  
ZogZerg : 3/13/2019 12:34 pm : link

No argument from me, Thomas is fantastic.

There was some arguments here after Collins was released that the NFL just isn't valuing the Safety position anymore.

The beginning to this free agency would say otherwise.

Which actually makes getting Peppers at his age and cost make sense.

Exactly and cost controlled for the next few years at under $2M per is a good move.

I'll stand up and say I was one of them. Last year the safety market was depressed. Guys were signing at training camp. This year has gone the complete other way. I was wrong.

I really do believe they are working starting the new trend on offense. Cant keep paying QBs the money they are making if they arent top tier. Control the clock, and if Jackson stinks just draft another guy who can excel in a run first system.
