Ravens could cut Will Hill after Eric Weddle signing

Baltimore Ravens strong safety Will Hill could be a cap cut following the signing of safety Eric Weddle, the Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec speculates.

What It Means:

Lardarius Webb's $9.5 million cap hit would be the most obvious cut, but Baltimore has made it clear they see Webb as a starting safety this season. Hill was the Ravens' best safety last year, but it could be difficult to justify his nearly $4.6 million cap hit if he is riding the bench. That said, Webb could be asked to play in the slot in sub packages, and both Webb and Weddle profile more as free safeties. It is possible all three are on the field together for the majority of the snaps in 2016. If anyone is getting cut, Matt Elam might be the best candidate.

Baltimore's 0.13 Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play ranked 17th in the league last year. This should help boost that no matter what.
