Should Ravens consider signing former Pro Bowl safety to replace Geno Stone?
The Baltimore Ravens have become famous for waiting until the last stages of free agency to make some moves, often taking advantage of veteran players lowering their asking price. While bringing in an offensive guard like Dalton Risner might be what most of the fanbase wants, a player like safety Micah Hyde makes sense.
While Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams already make up the best safety duo in the league, the loss of Geno Stone in a valuable third safety role needs to be addressed. Baltimore did draft Purdue’s Sanoussi Kane this year, but he is guaranteed next to nothing as a late seventh-round selection.
Released as a part of the Buffalo Bills’ financial bloodletting this offseason, Hyde is still looking for a team that needs defensive back help and can help him slip that elusive championship ring on his finger. Could the Ravens, who could stand to add one more defensive back, be that team?
Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports seems to think so, as he believes that Hyde and the Ravens are a great mutual fit for one another. Injuries may have sapped some of his effectiveness, but he won’t have to be the game-changer he was in Buffalo.
