R. Lewis' situation unresolvedAaron Wilson - Scout.comJanuary 16, 2006 at 9:37pm ETOWINGS MILLS -- Ray Lewis' silence is deafening, and he no longer wants to be the face of the Baltimore Ravens.My diagnosis of the former All-Pro middle linebacker? He's suffering from a torn hamstring, an intense desire for an influx of cash and a bruised ego since his request for a restructured deal keeps getting denied by Ozzie Newsome. Plus, his once intimidating game is declining.Lewis sought a second opinion in Florida, quickly had surgery, then attended a bowl game in Orlando on crutches for a softball ESPN interview. In Westminster last week for an autograph show, he charged fans at least $65 per item and refused to make himself available to the Carroll County Times or veteran sports anchor Scott Garceau.So many rumors are swirling around Lewis. Is he recovering well? Is he happy that Steve Bisciotti retained Brian Billick? Does he want to finish his career with a Florida team like the Miami Dolphins ? All legitimate questions, and Lewis could decrease fans' anxiety and media scrutiny by answering them. If he doesn't, the rumor mill will not rest.Lewis is slated to make $5.5 million again next season and $6.5 million in 2007 and 2008. Could free agent Bart Scott be a nice alternative at a much cheaper price? Stay tuned.I believe that Ray Lewis could get let go because of money issues. tell me what you think
He hasnt really been a dominant player for 2 years now....age is starting to catch up with him IMO.Hell be a good player whereever he is, but I dont think he will be dominant. It wouldnt suprise me to see him as a dumbfin though.
Nah he was good for more than a year man, hahahThe Ravens would be a weird team without Ray-Lew in the middle that's all I know

Ray Lewis is still a dominant threat at LB, he has been off for about 2 years and I think that if he were to leave Baltimore that he would step up his game and bring it back to the level it once was, I just think he doesn't have the passion to play for the Ravens anymore.FroztyM...didn't just start watching football but he really don't keep up on stats or player news that's why he said what he said.
I agree, a change of scenery would be nice for Lewis. But what I think would help him would be an offence. They showed they want to start to get one when we got Mason but we need a proven QB. I have been a huge Boller supporter but I think it's time to give up on him and sign a free agent. I know I would love to see Drew Brees in a B-More purple and black.
