Ray Lewis a Raven Nevermore?
Over the next few months in Baltimore this will be the main topic of discussion. Will Ray Lewis be wearing a Ravens jersey next season. If anyone saw the interview on the NFL network that answer might be no. When asked about the playing for the Cowboys Ray Lewis said the following and I quote "I see Dallas as a great opportunity. It's always been America's Team. It's just a great place to play football". Not to mention he also stated that playing with T.O. would not be a problem, despite what happened in 2004. Ray Lewis was also asked about the New York Jets who don't forget just hired Rex Ryan, Lewis' comments were, "That opportunity by itself looks attractive," he said. "That just sounds right. It's like, 'Wow, if something does happen where you're not back in Baltimore, the Jets wouldn't be bad."" Then the topic of a hometown discount came up and Lewis said that he doesn't play less why should he be payed less. Then when asked about Baltimore he did say he felt uncomfortable talking about playing for other teams because there is nothing he doesn't love about Baltimore. So taking all those comments into consideration i believe that Ray does want to stay here, but if Baltimore doesn't pay him what he thinks he deserves he will leave to whoever pays him what he wants. There is nothing i want more than to see Lewis in Purple and Black but i also wouldn't want the Ravens to be financially crippled. If Lewis isn't resigned you can use that money to sign Bart Scott, Terrell Suggs, Jason Brown and Jim Leonhard among others. No matter what happens Ray Lewis will always be remembered as a Raven and the city of Baltimore will put him in the same class as Johnny Unitas, Brooks Robinson and Cal Ripken. But seeing him in another jersey is a sight most Ravens fans don't want to think about.
