Weddle-Rams shake hands on a two-year contract

Safety Eric Weddle and the Los Angeles Rams have agreed to a two-year contract, the team announced Friday. The announcement came after Weddle visited the Rams' headquarters in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The team did not disclose contract terms, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said the deal has a $10.5 million base salary but could be worth as much at $12.5 million.

The Ravens released Weddle, 34, on Wednesday. He twice has been selected first-team All-Pro and has been named to six Pro Bowl teams, including in 2018. By releasing him, the Ravens saved $7.5 million against the salary cap.

For Weddle, playing in Los Angeles will be a homecoming. A Southern California native, he was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He played nine seasons in San Diego, then three in Baltimore. In 12 seasons, he has played in 185 games (170 starts) and make 1,067 tackles and 29 interceptions.

Free agent signings begin Wednesday.
