RUMOR MILL: Ray Lewis wants to wear the star

[dfense]

To me Ray Lewis is the equivelant of OJ Simpson. I'd rather not root for a murderer on my team.

Not to mention having to watch that god awful stupid dance he does during intro's. That is absolutely ********.

Dallas is the place to be now. As long as that is the case, we could start new threads daily stating "Insert aging star w/a couple more years left in the tank wants to play in Dallas."

And some would handicap the team by signing them all.

So True!!! I believe we need to display a No Vacancy sign at this point.

I think Lewis has been a very good player but given age I would pass. I would like to see Dallas built for a longer haul not for 1 run at the SB and go back to the bottom of the east.

No thanks. This guy has been done for several years yet gets hyped as if he's still relevant. He's not.

I live right outside Baltimore. This is soooooooo true.

I'd only sign him for the vet minimum with no garauntees.

He just wants to be close to his cousin Lattimore.

His little brother. But I get your point.

 

[Aven8]

The ONLY way I would sign Lewis is for his leadership and his skins. We could use some more of that on this team...especially from a former superbowl champ. And I like the dance, and the "what time is it, game time" routine! It fires me up and I hate Baltimore. It reminds me of Kenny Gant and the "shark" routine from our 90's teams.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Everyone wants the Star!

 

[dogberry]

Does Strahan want to come to the Cowboys for the vet minimum? No Pesky New Jersey Income Tax.

This is a TIDBIT from RotoTimes last moth on Ray Lewis. take it for what it is worth:

Ray Lewis, LB Thursday 5/8, 11:01 AM CT

Now the Baltimore Ravens know what it feels like to run into perennial Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis. The two sides have hit a stalemate on contract talks aimed at a long-term extension, according to NFL.com. After 12 seasons in Baltimore, Lewis is heading into the last year of his contract. The two sides have engaged in contract talks, the Ravens have weighed in with their multi-year offer, Lewis has spelled out his asking price, and too much of a gap now exists to make anyone think a deal is anywhere near imminent.

Our View: The Ravens are entering the “between the rock and a hard place” zone with these negotiations. Lewis, 32, has been the face of the franchise for the past decade, but he has missed 15 starts due to various injuries over the past four seasons. Lewis still performs at a high level when he is on the field, and remains a fiery passionate leader. But the organization has to weigh the risk/reward of a lucrative extension for an aging veteran looking to get paid one last time before the end of his career.

By the way...this guy still has some juice left in the tank. He may not be like he use to be, when he was one of the all time best LB's I have ever seen, but he can still ball. I think it was the Cincinatti game last year when he hurt or dislocated his shoulder and was still out there making tackles with one arm!!

 

[1fisher]

nah, don't want him.... I can't stand that ignorant dance he does before the game.

Wait Til Michael Vick gets released from prison.... Then we can start a whole bunch of Vick to Dallas threads....

 

[31smackdown]

He seems to hurt himself every year and then plays half the season injured and less effective.. I don't think we would pay him what he wants anyway.. and I can't find any room at the inn for him either.

Sign him to back up Zach and Bradie then.

But on the real, I'd rather see Carp or KB get some snaps, instead of an older vet past his prime.

Please don't disrespect our future KR/PR. Thanks. :grin2:

I don't see Lewis in Dallas however replacing Seau in New England could be a possibility if the Raven were to release him...

That would suck. I fully expect us to meet them in the SB, and having Mayo learn from the G.O.A.T. at MLB would hurt us.

Having them line up together with Thomas and Vrabel at OLBs would be scary.
