This.
If they were the same age, you might have an argument. Weddle was, and still is, a very good player. However, at 31 at a safety position in the current NFL, the small amount you save with him over a guy like Berry is not relevant.
Now, the main problem is that Berry's health concern has to be a long term approach and the entire rest of the safety position players are free agents as well. Abdullah's concussion problem is very real. Sorensen should be a relatively inexpensive resign, but they need to find a legit talent in this upcoming draft at the position as well.
Miles Killebrew in the second round wouldn't be a surprise and if he tests as good as he can at the combine, he might even move up into first round consideration.

The scoop: "He's a better football player than Shaq Thompson and Deone Bucannon were when they came out." -- Area scout on Southern Utah safety Miles Killebrew
The skinny: That is high praise -- Thompson and Bucannon both were first-round picks. However, we're not surprised to hear such talk about Killebrew, who has accepted an invitation to the Reese's Senior Bowl. He jumps off the tape and has a chance to be a name you'll hear a lot leading up to the draft. Killebrew has good size at a little under 6-2 and 230 pounds. He's been clocked at 4.45 in the 40. Everything we hear is that his character is impeccable.
