To answer the first question...
I think we have the ammo it would take to get this deal done. I'v read that he wants out of Baltimore. He's at the twilight of his carreer, and Balt won't win anytime soon (I think). So it would make sense for him to want to be on a super bowl contender.
We have draft picks, and salary cap space. We even have players we can trade (ie beisel, brown, starks). So imho it is plausible.
Should we trade for RayLew... He's a great player, and even those who don't like him have to admit that. The question is does he have anything left in the Tank? Which I think he does. The other knock on him is his over the top attitude which I just view as intensity. We like intensity, it would just be a matter of refocusing his intensity in different ways... We have leaders from whom he could learn to lead from... Rodney, Richard, keep the ra ra ra me me me stuff out. Hug your teammates after a good play instead Ray. And don't EVER- EVER do that worm wiggle thing in Foxboro. We come out as a team.
Now the question I am the most interested in... What would it take to get him? I'v heard on another post a third round pick... I doubt that. Probably a second... Which is a deal I would do in a heartbeat, and then resign him to a long term deal that would keep him here and make his cap impact this year minimal. Hell even throw in Beisel to give Balt a rangy chase-type MLB to replace the one we traded for.
