Chiefs Ray Lewis - Page 3

RustShack · 03-02-2009, 12:02 PM

We got a tip on Saturday about KC and Ray Lewis and per my spies this morning the Chiefs are attempting to talk to former Baltimore Ravens Linebacker Ray Lewis about his interest in coming to Kansas City.

Per my spies they think they have a shot to land him since no other team (at the moment) is in pursuit of the 13-year veteran. However, I think he really wants to play for the Ravens and if he came to KC it would have to be for the right price.

We've heard that Baltimore has an a three year deal worth $24 million on the table that has guarantees in the $17 million range.

Now he'd make sense for the Chiefs to add him along with Vrabel, DJ and likely Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry with the third overall pick, they can find out if DJ is the answer long term and it gives Curry time to develop plus KC gets two years out of Vrabel and Lewis to change the mindset of this defense.

But he'd be the kind of player that would impact this defense and if Romeo Crennel comes to KC as the teams DC, which we expect to happen barring a change of heart, this path makes sense to me.

Good grief, he probably wouldn't even take our call.

Realistically, we could do it too

Realistically you are wrong.

Shaun Rogers will play for Cleveland and Ray Lewis will not play for Kansas City.

Also, those three players will not make the defense pretty damn good.

I wouldn't go that far...

The only reason he would talk to the Chiefs right now is leverage to push the Ravens to pay more, because no one else is sniffing around the guy...

You really don't think Ray Lewis, Shaun Rogers, and Aaron Curry would turn around a defense that was complete dogsh*t last year?

I have to agree to disagree with you.

Spies? Like 007?

I was all for this until we picked up Vrabel. I was not overly excited about adding a rookie or 2 to DJ and DW and hoping one of the rookies could become a leader. I would however have been thrilled to have stolen Brian Dawkins away from the Broncos for the right price.

If we sign Lewis it pretty much guarantees we aren't taking Curry. That's something at least.

Not that I believe he is coming here.

That could be true but what could Curry learn from those two in a year or two before they retire and leave him as the leader of the D?

Fair enough.

Yikes. Spending that kind of money on an over-the-hill LB would be crazy stupid...

We HAVE to get a line.

Why do I sort of miss the days of King Carl when we knew about everything? We know NOTHING now. We used to know who was coming in for a visit, when they were coming, when they're plane landed, where they went for dinner and how interested they were in coming to KC. Who the hell knows now. We could have Ray-Ray and T.J. sitting in Arrowhead right now and we wouldn't know it. Or, maybe we've contacted no one. I kind of miss the old "Carl leaking everything out his ass" days.
