Weddle resigns with Chargers (merged)

Antoine Bethea gets paid about 7 mil a year and I don't think Eric Weddle is Bethea good. I'd take Bullitt at 2-4 a year over Weddle for 7 a year. If Weddle's willing to drop that 7 to something around 5? Might be a different story.

With the recent news that Eric Weddle has been re-signed by the San Diego Chargers, and is now the highest paid safety in NFL history, there is growing concern in Colts nation regarding the strong safety position. Weddle’s signing comes on the heals of Quintin Mikell’s $7 million per year contract on Tuesday,

leaving Donte Whitner and Dawan Landry as the top veteran free agents still on the market.

Melvin Bullitt, he too is receiving interest from the Rams and Cardinals — though local radio host JMV indicates that his chances to remain with the Colts are good.

Until then, Lefeged should help alleviate some concerns. He may have gone undrafted (as did Bullitt) but he was widely considered amongst the very best college safeties to enter the NFL this season

Yeah, keep him for that much money. More than Polamalu and Ed Reed? Weddle is a fine player, but he's not *that* good.

Wonder what that means for Bob...

Bob's already agreed to terms, just can't sign until Friday I think. I don't remember the terms, but it was considered to be a good deal with a lot of upside for the Chargers.

That's a lot of money to be paying one safety. Unless you have a safety like Polamalu or Reed, I don't think they should be getting that much. He shouldn't be the highest paid safety in the NFL.

Well, he's not. Eric Berry is. By a good amount, too.

Wait, the Chargers signed Eric Weddle? So they paid good money for two safeties? Does this mean him and Sanders will see play on the same field, or does that mean they'll get rotated?

lol they didn't pay good money for bob

anyway, it was either sign weddle, or watch someone else sign him

sometimes you have to keep your own players...but you guys know that already

    • ballard made a very bad pick drafting ar, ballard is getting paid to draft talent and he has too many glaring misses, imo the only qb worth taking with a top 5 pick was stroud. the rest were projects not worthy of a top 5 pick, fire ballard he is a poor judge of talent,
    • Regardless of how good the Lions are playing it would be out of the leagues character for a team like them to make it to the Super Bowl. 
    • The same was said about Lamar Jackson.....remember polian said he should try and play another position not QB ???   Just because someone is uber athletic doesn't mean they can't play QB.  Now I'm not saying AR will be or never will be  a quality QB in this league. I don't know.   He certainly has the athletic part going for him. BUT going against him is the lack of reps and experience coming out of college, thrust into the starting role right away, missing games due to injury and last but not least the lack of QB friendly plays  and coaching from Steinchen. If he's not acting like a professional on and off the field then it's on them to teach him on how to... you'd think the #4 overall pick would get the teaching he deserves. Sounds like he's a extremely young player lacking and the colts are failing him.    On Arians, I didn't click link to read the story.  Regarding bringing him back in some capacity, I remember when he was here Colt Fans wanted him replaced because he would call long pass plays that took extra time for the OL to pass block for and it was feared Luck would get killed waiting for the plays to develop. Little did we know back then that snowboarding would also be a major factor in his health.
    • It depends on who is the current QB. If AR is the QB, probably a 3, as I know there is something to play for, and even though the FO is terrible, if AR could potentially improve, that would be the quickest way to be relevant again if we won with him. If Flacco is our QB, it's a 1. I have no interest in watching the team with Flacco as the QB and I didn't even watch the Colts on Sunday Night Football even though I could have. I have gone through the band-aid QB process since Rivers, and he was the only positive to come out of it and we didn't have a highly drafted, possible franchise QB we were trying to develop at the time. It's bad enough when AR is injured and he can't play, now he just isn't starting for a number of reasons, and it's taken any interest out of caring for this team out of me until AR starts again, or until Ballard gets fired at the end of the year.
    • Belichick without Brady? Not good at all.   Gruden? His lighting up like a X-mas tree whenever there's a camera around gets old quick.  Plus his long term record is very poor.
