Jamal is a FA, they don't have the option to trade him. Chester is also a FA.

Jamal is as good as gone, with the horrible 2005. He's already put his house on the market.

The Ravens are in a prime position to draft a stud running back. LenDale or DeAngelo should be on the board when they pick.

Or maybe they aim high in FA and go after Edge if/when he isn't resigned.

Brunell isn't getting any younger and Snyder would get plenty of support bringing in Leinart at the QB spot to give Cambell some competition!!


I think your original idea of packaging those two players for a top pick isn't a bad idea. But I think they'd rather sign a guy like Mario Edwards with that 1st rounder. Campbell may not be the best prospect, but when you invest a 1st rounder into a QB, you don't draft for another starting QB until you're sure your 1st rounder won't pan out.

While I think Ray Ray can still contribute to a team, many teams will think twice about paying that kind of money for an aging player on the backside of his career. He would do himself well to take a pay cut.

I think his biggest contribution would be in a leadership role. There's no other team that needs a leader right now then the Vikings. I think he would help Childress put some disipline back into the team.

Very interesting idea... Minny with Ray Ray (won't help their PR image :-b ). But I thought the defensive leader of that team was Darren Sharper. :-?

I'm sure Marvin Lewis would love to get his hands on Ray in Cincinnati, and move Thurman to OLB (or possibly even switch to the 3-4)....

You don't want Ray lewis as a 3-4 linebacker. he has been much more successful in the 4-3, when he is a true middle linebacker. When the Ravens switched to a 3-4 Ray Lewis and the defense suffered. He's much better in the 4-3

This is a joke, right? You want the murderer who plays on one of the least disciplined teams in the league to bring "discipline" to Minny? Billick almost was fired because he let his players get away with everything.

I know that the Browns' LB's suck, but I wouldn't take him on Cleveland if he paid the team to play. Not only has he lost a step, he also would not have the Pro-Bowlers in front of him like he has had most of his career to protect him. Add in the fact that the two guys who were killed in the "misunderstanding" he had were from Akron, and there is little chance we see RayRay in C-Town.

Is there a way we can force people to wear the L's? Come on, buddy... The Vikings have one of the best duos in Kevin and Pat Williams, along with one of the best secondaries as well.
