Getty ImagesFriday 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.
He’s definitely the best safety the Ravens currently have.
Matt Elam needs to step up or step out.

Nice Gators secondary there.
I miss him on the Giants. Releasing him is certainly kicking them in the ass right now.
Agree with watermelon.
Glad to have Hill back in the fold. Now we have some wiggle room at safety in case Elam forgets where he’s supposed to be on the filed. As the man said it’s time for Elam “to step up or step out”
Ravens foot bill for Will Hill, but still hope he’ll fulfill the drill of taking a chill pill.
I was hoping… just for once. That an actual story about
Will Hill the player…. would link to Will Hill the betting
line service….
How stupid can one be…millions on the table… But can’t help getting suspended and making so far under his earning potential ..
I’ll go a step farther regarding Matt Elam. If the Ravens can trade him during the draft for a 3rd round pick, they should jump at the chance. Quality strong safeties can be found in the middle of the draft.
Ravens also have Kendrick Lewis who has said that he would help Elam.
My god, his Twitter used to be so amazing lol
He was too low rent for the Giants … but he’s perfect for the Ravens.
Elam for a 3rd round pick? He couldn’t make the worst team in the CFL. He’s only with the Ravens because they’re still in denial re yet another busted #1 pick. How long did it take to accept Biller’s ineptitude?
Boller’s ineptitude.
This guy is a solid starter. Elam needs to takes notes
The Ravens would be lucky to get a 4th/5th for Elam at this point much less a 3rd
“…which leaves him with a $1.542 million salary for the 2015 season.”
poor guy

Another? Since ’96 you have Taylor, Boller and Clayton. That’s it.
