"I never asked for Adrian Peterson kind of money"
Ray Rice talking about his new contract.
http://www.baltimoreravens.com/News/...e_A_Raven.aspx
Just thought I'd share it, some of us were claiming that Rice was demanding an AP style contract, which obviously wasn't true.

Yep. I was surprised at the reports coming from WNST. They're usually more credible than that.

Re: "I never asked for Adrian Peterson kind of money"
So he says.
Come on now, I am as glad as anyone that Rice and the Ravens agreed to a new deal, but Rice very well at one point could have been looking for AP type money. Once Foster and McCoy signed and then Forte it became obvious that he wasn't.
Rice is a great person, but lip service is lip service. What's he supposed to say? "Yea, I wanted as much money as Adrian Peterson got, but ended up settling for a lot less..."Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: "I never asked for Adrian Peterson kind of money"
this was my exact thought when reading it. Nothing but covering up and making it seem like he didnt settle for way less than he wanted. if 5/40/25 was the end point you have to assume the starting point was very close to AP money even if he doesnt want to call it that.

Re: "I never asked for Adrian Peterson kind of money"
I don't think it's fair throwing out these accusations when we don't know jack shit about anything. If he was demanding AP money in the first place, IMO there is no way we would have got him for 40 million dollars, and Ray Rice isn't the type to lie about these things to "cover things up".

Re: "I never asked for Adrian Peterson kind of money"
its negotiation 101, if you dont agree thats fine but you start high, i start low, we agree in the middle. Its not an accusation, its just understanding the business side of it. I think any player in Rices position wouldnt want to come off as greedy after the fact. multiple sources said he wanted "AP money" and only changed that to "CJ money" days before signing a very similar deal to CJs, at least the first 3 years. I dont think its hard to fill in the blanks, but thats just my opinion, not fact, which well probably never know.

Re: "I never asked for Adrian Peterson kind of money"
The response did seem a bit scripted.

Of course he didn't ask for AP money but his agent more than likely did

Re: "I never asked for Adrian Peterson kind of money"
If he says it and there isn't any evidence to the contrary, we should take him at his word I think.

I suppose he didn't ask for Adrian Peterson 'kind' of money, now did he?
