Ray's last game?

**Ravenswarrior19** · 12-22-2008, 05:42 PM

Just something to think about (Casey Willett brought this up in a blog) ...

The Jags game on Sunday could possibly be Ray Lewis' final game in Baltimore.

This is the first time in Ray's career that he has not been under contract for the following season. I'm kind of thinking it is a foregone conclusion that he is back in purple next year, but nothing in the NFL is ever guaranteed. It was very sobering for me to think this may be the last time we walk into M&T to watch Ray play.

Maybe it's the Kool-Aid or purple glasses but I do not believe this is the last game Ray will play in Baltimore....as a Raven. Worst case is we tag him but I don't think Steve-B will let him go.

Ray has said dozens of times he wants to stay .....

Bisciotti has said a few times he will pay to keep Ray here .....

Sounds like a little media-induced paranoia to me.

This thought makes me sad.

Let's focus on the playoff possiblities!

Unless someone wants to pay Ray stupid money, he will be back.

Ray must stay

It just wouldn't be right any other way

Hopefully the Ravens don't over pay for him.

I've heard rumors on NFL dot com that Jerry Jones is EXTREMELY interested in bringing in Ray Lewis.

That would be 10 times more destructive to my heart than the Colts being stolen beneath the cover of darkness.

If it come down to him going to Dallas or staying here, i don't care what the price is he must stay...no way I could watch him play for Dallas it would be by far the worst thing ever IMO!

Harbs and the team say just focus on the next game.
But we are fans and we can speculate.
In this case though probably best just to appreciate him in purple against Jax.

I'm glad I don't have to make the gut-wrenching decisions as to next years team. I'm fully expecting to see N.O. waving the checkbook at Scott for starters.

No way, no How. I cant see the ravens letting him walk away from the club.

You'd have to think that the ravens would franchise him before Jerry Jones or any team ever gets a chance to talk to his agent.

He's gonna be a raven....dont worry.

It is possible and a sad thought, but I dont think there is anyway Ray leaves. We will "overpay" him in some peoples eyes, but he is worth every single penny we give him.
