Ravens Will Fight To Keep RB Ray Rice In Baltimore

Ravens running back Ray Rice is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but the organization’s brass made it clear Wednesday that they have no intentions of letting him walk away according to Garrett Downing of BaltimoreRavens.com. The Ravens’ hope is to get Rice signed to a new long-term contract in the next few months, before the team has to use the franchise tag. “We would like to have a deal done with Ray before we get have to put the tag on him,” General Manager Ozzie Newsome said Wednesday at the team’s season-ending press conference. The Ravens can start negotiating a new deal with Rice at any point, but if they aren’t able to agree to new contract terms with him, then the franchise tag will be put to use. “Ray is an unrestricted free agent, so obviously the franchise mechanism has to come into play,” team Owner Steve Bisciotti said.

i'm a little surprised the ravens didn't sign him to a deal before or during the season. now, they've lost some leverage.

Same here. There will be a lot of teams willing to throw Rice a lot of money...risky deal for the Ravens.

Yeah they're just gonna have to bite the bullet and pay the fuck outta him. For obvious reasons I would also be fine with them not doing so.
