Friday is the deadline for restricted free agents to solicit offer sheets from new teams, which probably leaves most players with a pretty good idea at this point about whether they’re going to receive one.
We’re not sure what safety Will Hill might have heard from other clubs, but it seems nothing made him want to make the jump away from the Ravens. Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports that Hill signed his tender with the team on Thursday. Hill was tendered at the lowest level, which leaves him with a $1.542 million salary for the 2015 season.
Hill played well for the Ravens over the final 10 games of the season, but he missed the first six games of the year while serving the third suspension of his short NFL career. The first two came while Hill was a member of the Giants and he also provided them with good efforts on the field when he was eligible to do so.
Those off-field issues likely kept other teams at bay this offseason and Hill’s chances of getting more than a one-year deal next year will be helped if he can make it through 2015 without suspension or other off-field incident.
