Has Ray Lewis turned in his retirement paperwork and officially retired?
There was a private Ray Lewis retirement party scheduled for April 13th in Baltimore that has been postponed indefinitely. Just checking if anyone knows if he has officially retired.

Re: Has Ray Lewis turned in his retirement paperwork and officially retired?
Are you worried about it from a cap point of view or as a sign that he is coming back? I read somewhere that the team designated him as retired at the beginning of the league year and has already taken the cap charges to reflect that.
Even if a player turns in his paperwork he can still come back. During the draft the Chargers offered a contract to LaDanian Tomlinson who was retired all of last season. We all remember Deion Sanders coming back with the Ravens after he retired. If Ray came back this year he could only return to the Ravens but if he is out for the whole year he can then sign with any team next year. I can't see any of that happening though. Ray seems sincere about wanting to watch his son play in college.

God, I hope he's not thinking about coming back.
He's my favorite all time Raven, but he got abused during the Super Bowl. He needs to go out gracefully.

The team couldn't bring him back without making some big moves to free up more cap space. It's not happening.

I'm not worried about with us. I am worried he pulls a Unitas and tries to squeeze in another year. Originally Posted by GOTA

Agreed, but since we know it's not happening, it's fun to pretend it will and he will come back to win DPOY and win us another Super Bowl. Originally Posted by HoustonRaven

When he told Joe Flacco that he (Flacco) would have to lead them to victory, I knew he was done.
