Eric Weddle House

Former Ravens safety Eric Weddle lists massive Baltimore County home for $895,000

Former Ravens safety Eric Weddle will no longer enjoy his post-win bowl of ice cream in his spacious Baltimore County home.

The 34-year-old, who signed with the Los Angeles Rams in March after the Ravens released him from his four-year contract, has listed his massive house in the Quarry Lake at Greenspring community for $895,000. The roomy residence includes 5,304 square feet of space, five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, upgraded granite countertops, a screened-in porch, gas fireplace, and a two-car garage. Jameson Cokas, of The Cokas Group of Next Step Realty, said the Weddle family loved the community — and the community loved them right back.

“They’re sad to see them go,” he said, adding that Weddle and his wife, Chanel, renovated the entire lower level of the house and maintained the property well. “It’s all decked out and has all the options you can get.”

Built-in 2007, the sprawling house at 2518 Stone Cliff Drive sits close to the community pool, tennis courts, and the shops and restaurants at Quarry Lake at Greenspring. The neighborhood is situated in between M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore and the Ravens training facility in Owings Mills.

Weddle, a six-time Pro Bowl pick and a five-time All-Pro honoree, bought the residence in 2016. He signed a two-year, $10.5 million contract with the Rams.

Eric Weddle College

He enrolled in the University of Utah, where he played for the Utah Utes football team from (2003-2006). He was immediately put into action in 2003, begging his last nine games at right cornerback. He earned Freshman All-American first-team and All-Mountain West Conference honorable mention.

He posted 60 tackles “29 solos” with four sacks, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He deflected four passes and intercepted another while also carrying the ball once (minus 6 yards). He was two times Mountain West Conference defensive player of the year.

Eric Weddle Contract

He had signed a four year, $26 million contracts with the Baltimore Ravens on 14th March 2016. He received $13 million in guarantees, $9 million of which is fully guaranteed at signing. The footballer received a $7 million signing bonus and if he is on the roster on the 5th day of the 2017 league year another $4 million becomes fully guaranteed.

Rams’ Eric Weddle has an ice cream clause in his contract

The sweet and sometimes humongous concoctions often photographed and posted to social media by Eric Weddle, is a reward for a job well done, a way of celebrating a victory and the sacrifice it took to help achieve it.

Weddle, a 12-year NFL veteran, denies himself sugar during game weeks. The payoff comes after wins, when he creatively constructs and enjoys massive ice cream treats with his wife, Chanel, and their four children.

When the Rams signed the six-time Pro Bowl safety last March, Weddle’s contract included an incentive clause tied to wins that is titled the “Brooklyn, Gaige, Silver & Kamri’s Ice Cream Sundays Incentive.” “My kids know when we get home after games it’s like ‘Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream!’” Weddle said. “They know what’s up.”

The Rams won 13 games last season en route to their second consecutive NFC West title and a run to the Super Bowl. After the season they released linebacker Mark Barron and did not re-sign defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh and safety Lamarcus Joyner.

To upgrade the defense they signed the 34-year-old Weddle to a two-year contract that includes $5.2 million in guarantees. The Rams then added veteran linebacker Clay Matthews, another six-time Pro Bowl player.

Weddle has been a part of two defenses that ranked No.1 in the NFL in fewest yards per game — the 2010 Chargers and the 2018 Baltimore Ravens. He calls defensive signals, and actively directs teammates from all points on the field before and during the snap.

Weddle is a “coach on the field,” Rams coach Sean McVay said.

“Really smart guy,” defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said, “smarter than I am, I know.”

Weddle, who played at Rancho Cucamonga Alta Loma High and in college at Utah, was selected by the Chargers in the second round of the 2007 draft. That was the year Phillips left the Chargers as defensive coordinator to become coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

But during his nine seasons with the Chargers, Weddle mastered the concepts of the 3-4 defense that Phillips had installed.

“Everything he built there we carried over and added to and changed a little bit,” Weddle said, adding that when he began offseason workouts with the Rams a dozen years later: “It came back real quick. … It was like I’ve been running the defense the whole time.”

Rams players agree.

Weddle is an “assistant, assistant defensive coordinator,” outside linebacker Dante Fowler said. Middle linebacker Cory Littleton described him as a master of disguise. And a master of Phillips’ scheme, cornerback Marcus Peters said.

“He knows everything,” Peters said, “from the front to the back end.”

It took a few walk-throughs and practices for Rams players to acclimate to Weddle’s instructions and style.

“Guys were like, ‘What are we doing here?’” he said, laughing. “And I’m like, ‘It’s OK, man. Just trust me.’ … I do a lot of crazy stuff like disguising and running around.

“It takes an adjustment to play when you’re not used to it. That period was short-lived. Now they’re on it.”

Said safety John Johnson: “We’re just doing a lot more things that stress the quarterback mentally.”

Rams quarterback Jared Goff can relate. He said working against — and with — Weddle has contributed to his development.

Goff and Weddle play a “chess match” during practices. After a play or series, Goff might ask Weddle what he saw, how he might have known what was coming. Weddle does the same.

And they don’t limit the dialogue to the field.

“Walking in the hallway, whenever,” Goff said.

Weddle landed with the Rams after three seasons with the Ravens, all of which ended with his selection to the Pro Bowl. His release reportedly saved the Ravens $7.5 million in salary-cap space.

For the next 24 hours, Weddle said, his emotions ran the gamut.

“You still want to play, but it doesn’t matter if you still want to play and no one else wants you at this point in your career,” he said. “Who’s interested? Is there anyone?

“You have to prepare yourself … This may be it.”

The Rams were among several contending teams that showed interest. After meeting with McVay and the Rams staff, Weddle signed what he has described as his final NFL contract.

“I kind of asked him, ‘What are you still playing for?’” running back Todd Gurley said. “He gave me the answer: He still loves the game.”

During offseason workouts, Weddle stayed near the Rams’ Thousand Oaks training facility during the week and drove to his family’s home in San Diego County on weekends.

He’ll employ a similar arrangement during the season, seeing the family at Sunday home games and then traveling home together for days off.

Weddle is already anticipating the shouts when his family walks through the front door together after a Rams victory.

“I go all out,” he said. “When we win, let’s smash some ice cream.”

Eric Weddle Patriots

Ravens safety Eric Weddle was nearly a Patriot this season

When Eric Weddle was released by the San Diego Chargers after last season he had plenty of offers to sign with other NFL teams. One of those teams was the New England Patriots, the team Weddle will play against on Monday Night Football this week.

When the two-time All-Pro safety hit the open market, he said he was looking to play for a winning organization. He ended up choosing the Ravens over the Patriots because there was a more clear-cut opportunity for playing time.

“I’m good buddies with Patrick Chung,” he said. “I grew up playing with him and Devin McCourty is one of the best to play, so I don’t know if it would have worked out personnel-wise. But obviously, I could have seen myself fitting in there seamlessly.”

Although the Ravens don’t have quite as many wins as the Patriots this season, Weddle clearly made a good choice. The Ravens are tied for first place in the AFC North with the Steelers and Weddle is currently the highest-graded safety in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus.

The Ravens defense is playing dominant football as a whole as well. Through week 13 Baltimore ranks first in the NFL in total defense surrendering just 296.1 yards per game.

Eric Weddle Retire

He had already had spent three years with the Ravens, earning a Pro Bowl selection in each season. He has six Pro Bowl appearances in his 12-year NFL career.According to Mike Garafolo(of NFL Network), he has said he would be open to playing for another team in 2019 instead of retiring.

While he had initially indicated he would retire this offseason if the Ravens did not want him back, he changed his mind in January.

“Obviously, I want to be back. I want to finish out,” The player said, per Ryan Mink of the team’s official site. “If not, I’ve had an unbelievable experience here and loved every second. So, if it does happen that we both move on, then we do, and we’ll see if I’ll play somewhere else or hang ’em up.”

The Ravens will still have a chance to re-sign him on a more team-friendly deal, but it appears he will get a chance to see what else is out there on the open market.

Meanwhile, Baltimore will also try to re-sign linebackers C.J. Mosley and Terrell Suggs, who are both free agents.

His release could free up funds for these players, but Baltimore loses a key player on a defense that ranked No. 1 in the NFL in yards allowed last year.

The safety could have a significant market based on his performance throughout his career, especially in the past few years. The only challenge will be competing with a loaded free-agent class at safety involving Landon Collins and Earl Thomas.

Eric Weddle Chiefs

In 14th week loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he whiffed badly on an attempted tackle of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, whom he outweighed by about 10 pounds, allowing a third and long to be converted in an eventual touchdown drive. He was strong in run support and smart in his movement as a deep safety, but also not getting any younger.

Rams’ Eric Weddle faces concussion exam, but says he’s ‘good as gold’

Veteran safety injured and bloodied attempting to tackle Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Eric Weddle was immobile, then bloody, and finally as self-assured as ever.

Kneed in the helmet by a hurdling Christian McCaffrey in the second quarter of the Rams’ 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Weddle appeared to have been knocked out before he sat up and trainers applied towels to a laceration over his right eye.

The 34-year-old safety, signed by the Rams in the offseason for $10,502,050 million over two years and named a team captain, left the game on a cart and didn’t return.

The Rams said Weddle has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol, the results of which would determine if he misses any games.

But he tweeted reassurance before the game was over, saying: “Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. I’m good as gold. Now let’s go finish this game with a DUB!!!!”

“It’s always difficult to see, especially when it’s one of your teammates,” linebacker Clay Matthews, who was on the field at the time, said of Weddle’s injury.

“Seeing him after the game, he looked like he’s ready to go. He obviously isn’t, but he was in good spirits.”

Weddle was replaced Sunday by Taylor Rapp, a rookie drafted in the second round out of Washington, and Marqui Christian.

Rapp finished with seven tackles, third on the team behind linebacker Cory Littleton’s 14 and safety John Johnson’s 11.
