On how he felt watching all the success the Ravens had this season: "Yeah, it was hard emotionally. It was tough to get released for the reasons they felt, which I respect, and then they replaced me with a guy (Earl Thomas) who was an all-time great player. To see all of the guys who I helped and gave everything I had was hard to watch. But it was also exciting, and I was happy for those guys to finally see their potential."

On Lamar Jackson's critics who say his style of play isn't sustainable "I wouldn't really worry or care two cents about what anybody says outside that building. But with him, it is successful, and it's going to be great and it's going to be his show as long as he can stay healthy and run like he can. Will he be able to play 20 years like this? Probably not. But I give it 10-plus years that he could do it. As long as they keep pushing the envelope and keep expanding and not getting satisfied with what they've done and trying to still bring new elements, new formations, new looks, new concepts."

On what the Ravens need to do to get to the Super Bowl: "You don't want to continue to lose edge rushers. A guy like (Matthew) Judon is homegrown and is turning into one of the premier guys, not just with his pass-rush ability but in playing the run. Not many people know this, but he dropped on like 30 percent of the pass drops. Just think if he's rushing on those 30 percent, how much production you'd get out of him. I would try and retain him."

Weddle also spoke with Glenn Clark Radio to reflect on his time in Baltimore.

"The Ravens were honest and up front with me," Weddle said. "They took a chance on me as a 30-year-old safety. They believed in me and wanted me, and I could never forget the admiration and love I have for those guys.
