Rice is due for a significant increase as an unrestricted free agent either in the form of a projected $7.7 million franchise tag or an even more lucrative long-term contract extension. “Whatever they do, it’s going to be more than I’ve ever had," Rice said according to Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times. "There was a reason why I never brought my contract situation into that locker room because I wanted to play the game for the love of the game and my teammates. I think we’ll get it done. There’s no doubt that I’ll be here next year.” Regardless of whether Rice is the Ravens’ franchise player or signed to an extension, he feels like he can’t lose. Either way, he’ll be given a multi-million dollar deal. His preference is clear, though. He wants the Ravens to lock up his services for the long haul. “Yeah, I definitely prefer long-term over franchise tag,” Rice said. “I’m not going to complain about the franchise tag, either. It puts yourself in a position where you play that year out and guys have done it, but I prefer the long-term. That’s what Baltimore, the city, the fans, they would love to know that Ray Rice is going to be here, not just one year, but for many years to come.”
