Is it more of a money game for Ray Lewis?

say's he wants to test his worth in FA. I can't believe this. We are throwing all the money we have at him, but he wants to see if he can get more. This is the time when I ask, where is your loyalty? He's been a Raven for his whole life, he won't be any better anywhere but Baltimore and he knows that. I really can't believe he'd put money, in front of his team. Especially when we are offering him alot of money anyways. ****, part of me wants to sign Scott and Brown and let his ass go so he can be half successful in Dallas where he can play behind little Jay Ratliff.

I can't say I don't agree, I just don't want us to lose Ray.. Merrill Hodge said it on ESPN today that Ray isn't as valuable when he isn't in Baltimore. His edge is in purple and black. Him being in a helmet with a star on it is not going to command the same influence he has on our fans and players.. not when you're on a team that has a player that mocked him publicly in Terrell Owens.

Exactly right dude. When he leaves Baltimore, all his weaknesses will show, whether he's playing in Dallas or New York. But I really wish Ray put the team before money, especially when we are giving him alot of it anyways.

Well I think he is going to see.. we are going to offer him more then any Team out there.. we know his value is higher here then anywhere else.
