I still hate that Tommy T and McCoy didn't bring him back. It was a mistake:
Ravens FS Eric Weddle was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 13. Weddle had a huge game against the Lions on Sunday, recording a strip-sack of Matthew Stafford and a pick-six while also allowing just one catch for six yards in his coverage. Weddle has been a great signing for the Ravens the past two years, creating 12 turnovers -- nine INTs and three fumbles.Hashtag thepowderblues

Weddle > Boston. That said, his production has been covered by Casey Hayward, albeit in a different position. I still think Weddle and the Chargers could have handled his situation differently, as in actually talking, but player performance after age 30 often drops off the cliff, without warning. I would have paid him to stay, but the Chargers needed to build their legal warchest.

I dont know...i wonder if a change of scenery did him some good? Maybe he needed the humility. It happens. He was not impressive towards the end here. And many here were vocal about it. It happens all the time that players get their mojo back when they are cut or not brought back. I like that Boston is so young. I think he is getting better. He's a vocal leader. This secondary is closer than every. And he was a big reason why they are so close. Hes a huge leader this year for us. I love when hes on NFLN. Im not saying hes great....but hes made some plays. I cant but think what our secondary would look like with a DT that is causing so much havoc that Ingram and Bosa are routinely forcing QBs to throw up ducks.

The head coach and Tommy did Weddle wrong.

Things were already contentious between Weddle and McCoy -- the Chargers had put Weddle on injured reserve in Week 17, even though he thought he was healthy enough to play -- and they reached kind of a boiling point in the hot tub.
Here's what happened, according to Weddle."What are you guys still doing here?" McCoy said, according to Weddle.Followed by a meeting with Telesco in which Tommy said that Weddle had a lot of mileage on his body.
"We're figuring out the roster for next year," Weddle said. "And you have a lot of work to do."
Then McCoy surprised him.
"Where are you going to go next year?" he said. "Any particular team you want to go to?"

He obviously still has a lot to give. I agree with the thought of getting rid of a guy a year early but both Rodney and Weddle have shown they weren't near done.
