Could Ray Be Joining Jamal Out Of Baltimore?

[AustrianRaidersFan]

Baltimore Sun - Soon after the season ended, moving and storage trucks were outside the Granite home of Ravens running back Jamal Lewis. He can become an unrestricted free agent next month if the Ravens don't designate him the franchise player.

Lewis, in Atlanta, says he doesn't know what the future holds. He says the Ravens have not had contact with him or his agent since the season ended.

"I sold my house. I had to get out from under it because I'm not sure of my future," Lewis said. "I've had that house for six years, but there is no use keeping it if you aren't going to be there. If I end up back in Baltimore, I'll just rent an apartment for six months or less."

Lewis expects the Ravens to put the franchise tag on him, and he has no problems playing in Baltimore again as long as he is the featured runner.

"The players association thought that designation [franchise player] would be a good thing, that it could be used as leverage," Lewis said. "But I think I am more valuable than that. I don't want to come back to a situation where I carried the ball only 10 to 15 times a game like last year. I'm used to carrying it 20 to 25 times a game. I want that kind of workload. If the Ravens want to give me that, I'll be more than happy to play in Baltimore again, or anywhere else."

According to a league source, the Ravens have been sending out "feelers" to gauge the interest in Pro Bowl middle linebacker Ray Lewis. We're not talking heavy-duty stuff here, but the word was out.

Teams, though, might not want to trade for a player who is on the decline, is injury prone and has three years left on his contract worth $5.5 million next season and $6.5 million in 2007 and 2008.

I'd like to see Ray in Silver and black.. I know its just my fantasy, but hey.....

They won't tag a player that's injury prone, hates contact and best days are behind him. I say no way to Ray-Murder.

J Lewis wants to be the featured back not a back up to Lamont so I don't see that happening. R Lewis is too expensive and not the force he once was. That being said if there was a way to restructure his contract for a cheaper number I would not mind seeing Ray in Silver and Black for his last couple years.

We have our RB.

As for Ray, if the price was right then maybe.

If D Clarke plays OLB ill take Ray ray any ****in day!

[Raiders4Life79]

Ray, Clark, and Morrison our linebacking corps...that is something special...now just think if AJ Hawk was part of that rotation

[trueraiderfan17]

na i dont want ray i would like to see a j hawk new freah meat not old injury prone meat like ray

[ChicoR8er]

Ray to the Raiders is a classic Al move. Everyone thinks he's old news then he comes here and gives the Raiders another great few years for a good price (see Bill Romo) I think it would be great. And him on the team would only make Morrison, Clark, and hopefulley AJ mature faster. Go get em!!

If nothing else he would be the spark the defense has needed for so long. he would definately help the youngsters on our defense, and not only the LB's. also he does amazing things for the crowd. i live in Baltimore and have been watching him since he hooked up with the Ravens and even when he isn't on the field, or putting up 150 tackle seasons he is still helping out

[slayerized]

ray alone is better than our lb core, sh*t old or not he would bring leadership to this team, com'n people open your eyes

The house cleaning continues. lol

[LIRAIDER75]

it doesnt sound likely that he would be let out of baltimore...but i just have a good feeling we are going to be seein ray in the Silver and Black

[GhostfaceRaider]

in the local papers, there has been some "locker room drama" with Ray Ray recently. there was a rumor that he has 3 lockers in the locker room with a TV inside one that he turns away from the team so only he can watch it. he is fed up with the ****ass Ravens
