Cowboys interested in Ravens' Lewis?
Word around the NFL is that the Dallas Cowboys are very interested in obtaining Ravens inside linebacker Ray Lewis if he becomes a free agent. The speculation is that the Cowboys are willing to give Lewis a three-year deal worth between $27 and $30 million, with $25 million guaranteed.
Dallas owner Jerry Jones believes his team is in the serious hunt for a Super Bowl title next season, and that Lewis could help solve some of the team's problems inside the locker room.
The Ravens are expected to begin negotiations with Lewis, who is in the last year of his contract, as soon as the season is over. Fellow linebackers Bart Scott and Terrell Suggs are also in the final years of their contracts.
Suggs' decision to play against the Steelers was a courageous one. Oh, and by the way, he happened to come up with two big sacks.
I can't see Ray signing right away. Why would he lose his negotiating leverage unless he truly loves Baltimore?
If Lewis and Suggs are free agents... then who do they franchise and could Suggs be a free agent?
