Chiefs Ray Lewis

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.

Bring in Ray Lewis, Shaun Rogers, and draft Aaron Curry and this defense will go from worst to pretty damn good.

Realistically, we could do it too

Sure what the hell we can make the playoffs quick again lets go for it.

hummm... I would luv for him to show up if he can still bring the attitude and emotion but would he still have the heart after leaving Ravens?

Does he fit the Pioli profile? Perhaps. In the Rodney Harrison mold... But, remember he is a murderer.

Trading for Cassel and Vrable gives me the vibe they are trying to make a quick turn around. Also I think we all know Pioli and Crennel aren't afraid to bring in older guys to play defense.

I'm still firmly in the "In Pioli We Trust" mode, so if GMSP thinks Lewis is worth signing, I'm all for it. A LB corps of Lewis, Vrabel, D. Johnson & possibly Curry would be solid at least for a few years until we can develop some younger players to take over.

On the other hand, if we don't sign him, I think I'd be a little happier. Guy that old with his past....eeeehhh...
