[theebs]

Ray is coming to Big D.... much to your delight.

Based on what?

I sure hope that isnt true.

Ray is coming to Big D.... much to your delight.

I think he is too.

Come on down to Big D Ray Ray.

 

[yimyammer]

come on jets sign him up!

Its going to be funny when the ravens replace both guys in one or two drafts like they always do. Ray is a great player and wont be replaced but I bet they find someone that is productive.

Its what I admire about Baltimore, pittsburgh, indy, philly, the pats....They are not afraid to lose people, they are not dictated to by their players and they believe in themselves enough to replace talented players with young talented players down the road.

great point, it's been my dream for years that Dallas coud be added to that list, but I don't see it happening anytime soon

if Ray comes here, his contract better be incentive/performance based

give him a 3 year deal, if he sucks in any of those years, he can be cut w/ barely any cap ramifications

Ravens lose Scott to Jets; Lewis gone, too?

Posted: Adam Schefter

As if it weren’t bad enough to lose linebacker Bart Scott, now the Ravens are in serious jeopardy of losing free-agent linebacker Ray Lewis, too.

Sources close to Lewis were adamant Friday that one of the game’s greatest defensive players will not return to Baltimore and his career with the team is over.

For some reason, Lewis has been rubbed the wrong way in the lengthy negotiations that have occurred between he and the Ravens. Now, Lewis is determined to move on, even if there is no obvious suitor.

The Jets are expected to spend about $8 million per year on Scott, the Dallas Cowboys have insisted they will not be signing any high-profile free agents, and there are no other teams that, at the moment, jump out as potential landing spots for Lewis.

Thus, one of Lewis’ confidants was asked if it were possible that the Ravens now could change their linebacker’s mind. “Not if you knew Ray like I knew Ray,” was his response. He even mentioned retirement as a possibility ahead of returning to Baltimore and insisted it was not a negotiationg ploy. “That’s Ray,” the source said.

For now, Lewis plans to take a couple of days, ponder his plans and then come up with his gameplan. But his gameplan now does not include the Ravens, according to those who know him. Thus Baltimore could wind up losing Lewis to another team or retirement, Scott to the Jets, center Jason Brown to the Rams (Brown is scheduled to visit St. Louis) and cornerback Corey Ivy to the Jets.

Change came to this country in January and it looks like it’s coming to Baltimore as well.

Does this thread need to be moved to the PZ?

Ray may be allowed to leave, Scott is giving the ravens the chance to match the Jets offer!!

Pretty big indictment of Ray Lewis to me. Baltimore is letting him walk and the Jets have apparently chosen Bart Scott over him. I'll be sick, just sick if the Cowboys pay him.
