Ray Lewis and Free Agency

What's the rule on a player retiring as far as the salary cap is concerned? I thought with Ogden hanging it up, they wouldn't have to pay him. Guess not.

If Lewis is brought in and TO retained i think there will be fireworks... TO might finally get the beating he's long deserved. Haha.

Especially if TO does this in the locker room.

I hope Danny Boy is taking a real long hard look at how Jerry Jones handles than team and learns his lesson once and for all. I think he has shown signs of letting go but we'll see.

The Little Danny and Jerry are two peas in a pod. The Little Danny emulated Jerry by going about hiring his coaches in the same manner as Jerry did. It was assistants first then the Head Coach last.
I have seen nothing as of yet to make me think that The little Danny is showing signs of letting go and if he is, please show something...anything, that can validate your assumption.
As far as Lewis going to dall ASS, The Rats with Wings owner has already stated that Lewis isn't going anywhere.

He's the best player in their team's history, he can still get it done on the field, and he's a great leader. They should give him a 2 or 3 year extension and let him finish his career where it started.

Not sure about being their best player but he is the heart and soul of that team and brings leadership.
I might offer him a 1 or 2 year contract but you have to watch the money as Suggs and their other LB (?) are up for new contracts also. They are on the up side of their careers where Lewis is on the down side.
I'm sure that the owner will work something out as he has stated that Lewis is staying in Baltimore.

He's not their best player right now (Ed Reed), but he's the best player in Raven's history IMO.

That would be fun.

The radio media seems to think this is Rays agent getting him more bucks from the Ravens by throwing in a big name like Dallas, but when they broke down Dallas' cap situation it didn't seem like they would be able to afford him considering he would want the money front loaded at his age.

FYI espn had a fan poll for all NFL teams to rank the ten best players ever for their team and the Ravens chose Matt Stover number one over Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden.
