I would welcome Ray in to shore up our run defense as well as keep the entire defense fired up. He can still bring it.

I live in MD. On 98 Rock (Ravens official radio) a caller who says he knows a person close to Ray told him that Dallas has a "done deal" with Ray... 3 yrs. 30 mil... The radio people hammered him and wanted to know the "source". (limo driver, janitor, Steve Biscotti(sp?)... they slammed him pretty good.) He told them that if he gave the guys occupation, they would know exactly who it was. He did say that he was one of many that Ray took to Hawaii as guests.

I realize this is the definition of "RUMOR". Some dude trying to get some attention. But he did say that he would give up the source after Friday.

The funny part was the number of messages that came after. Callers were saying BS because Dallas doesn't have the cap room for that. I too call BS.... and hope that I am right.

I hope you're wrong and that caller is right. though 10 mill a year is alot but i'd rather give him 10 mill a year than a wr who needs more passes thrown to him than anybody else to have top numbers. also wouldn't that be tampering?

 

[dcfanatic]

Dude, Leon hess is dead.

Yeah. And Woody Johnson gives the Jets an even better shot at getting Ray because he's like Jerry Jones in that he wants to bring in big names so he fills up the stadium seats.

He will offer Ray more money if it comes down to the Cowboys and Jets.

Wouldnt that be tampering to already have a contract worked out???

The last thing we need is for the commish to take a pick for tampering.

Also, $10 mill per yr for a 34 yr old MLB is just freaking dumb.

This is like the 3rd time ive heard a little tidbit about Ray being a "done deal" to Dallas...Maybe he can't give up the source because it's tampering. If he keeps his mouth shut it's just a rumor.

3yr 30 million though? Man....I don't know...I still want to get an ILB in the 3rd or 4th for him to groom under Ray.

 

[Hoofbite]

As long as it works with the cap, I don't care what the hell Jerry spends. If Ware and the rest of the crew that Dallas wants to bring back are brought back and the team has left over money, why not?

If Jerry and Co. can make it work with the cap and not have to ditch on other players, I don't give a crap. In fact, if there was some way to make it work with the cap and have Jerry spend out the ***, I'd love it.

I'd love it because when the team folds again, I could at least take some gratification in knowing that Jerry spent so much money and got nothing.

 

[dcfanatic]

Bunting, at the NFP, questions if Lewis is still a 3 down player. He questions giving him a long-term deal, and says Lewis needs to be in a system that knows his limitations.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/02/notes-from-lombardi-free-agent-linebackers/

Bunting thinks Bart Scott will get big money.

I say draft one or two ILBs. The Cowboys need safety help, not a $25 million dollar aging, baby sitter, imo. It's a desperate move, imo.
Those dollars could be used on other players.

I think Bart Scott is the better player right now. But I also think he wants to stay in Baltimore and become the 'next Ray Lewis' more than he wants to just go to the highest bidder.

I agree. If we can get Ware,Ray and Miles all signed next year I really don't care. Ray's got 2 years left MAX then he's of the books..meanwhile our ILB that we draft this year can play third downs, get some reps and take over for Ray when he's gone.

No 34 year old LB is worth what Ray wants

You do realize that this is from a guy who knows a guy who knows Ray Lewis... supposedly... I don't know how truthful any of it is... just sharing what I had heard on a local Baltimore rock station that follows the Ravens and typically has players call in.

I agree with you 100%. 10 mil for Lewis is steep. As we know, Jerry is capable of anything... except giving up GM job.

For the guy that wants Jerry to pay for Ray... The WR is getting his 10 mil regardless of how this all plays out so, that has no bearing on this at all.

As for tampering, sure it sounds like tampering. However, who is going to file charges based on a fan calling a radio show and "guessing" correctly? Anyone who doesn't believe these things go on regularly is simply niave.

Personally, the next bit of news I want to hear from the Cowboys is the signing of DeMarcus Ware. Afterwards, let the chips fall as they may. The Jets will make an offer to Lewis. One that they've been working on since Rex Ryan was hired as HC. I still see him as a Raven but we'll find out in a few days.

Ray can get players to play above there potential. samari Rolle and Fabian Washington were the starting corners for that team for most of the year including the playoffs. maybe Ray can make Garrett call plays above his potential and we might see some slants and screens next season

even though i don't think Ray Ray is a solution i would love to see the Roy38 Henry finger pointing blame game after a big play with Lewis roaming the sideline :laugh2:

that would be worth the price alone

That would be fun to watch.

Also seeing Ray walk over to Garrett as the punt team heads onto the field would be great.

Okay, give him the 30mil but he has to stay mic'ed up every game.

Welcome Home Ray Ray

 

[Hostile]

Ray Lewis plays the same position as Bradie James who had a monster year.

The Cowboys top priority is DeMarcus Ware. If they give Ray that kind of money it makes re-signing Ware a lot harder.

There are a lot of reasons to take this rumor with a grain of salt.

One reason to give it some credence is that Ray is great friends with Michael and Deion and they seem to be thinking he is coming.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

stay tuned then.

fearing the unkown is part of the problem with this organization. Signing players in their mid 30s to big contracts is plain dumb.

Letting 'Care Bear' linebackers play is even stupider.

Austin is soft. Let fumblitis go.

I think Ray may be coming, the only sticking point may be cash in my view.

You know Michael and Deon have Jerry's ear from the glory days and Jerry knows the team needs a leader regardless of him keeping Wade for whats really one last year.

It is possible the Jet's could outbid Jerry but I think they lock up Ware, then cut Roy, Ellis and Johnson to make room with possibly restructuring some other contracts to make it happen.

We shall soon see which will be exciting either way.
