Ravens' signing of S Tony Jefferson will have biggest impact in AFC North

Which free-agent signing will have the biggest impact in the division?

Jeremy Fowler, Pittsburgh Steelers reporter: Baltimore Ravens safety Tony Jefferson. The Ravens have used back-to-back free-agency periods to form one of the league’s best safety tandems. Signing Eric Weddle last offseason is paying off, and Jefferson, who agreed to a four-year, $36 million deal on the first day of free agency, gives Baltimore a hard-hitting playmaker coming off a season of 96 tackles, two forced fumbles and two sacks in 15 games. When general manager Ozzie Newsome gives a defensive back $14 million guaranteed, you know he can play.
