Broncos | Team may have a visit with J. Lewis - The Orange Mane

HEAV · 03-12-2006, 04:20 PM

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports free agent RB Jamal Lewis (Ravens) has been unable to reach a deal so far with the Baltimore Ravens. He will decide before the end of the day Sunday, March 12, if he wants to make a visit to the Denver Broncos.
-------------

Edge deal may have screw'd us.

if doesn't know he isnt worth as much as edge he shouldnt even visit

Good. I hope he keeps asking for too much.

Clockwork Orange · 03-12-2006, 04:27 PM

If he thinks he's gonna get the kind of money that Edge got, he needn't bother coming to town.

Well, you know eventually he'll settle for what he can get, where ever that it is.

HEAV · 03-12-2006, 04:30 PM

If I was him and I went threw the BS with Baltimore (contract,Oline,QB,Ray Ray), not to mention the legal crap. I'd look for a fresh start somewhere else.

The Ravens are for sure looking at RB in the draft. I'd be on a plane to Denver tonight.

since they're both in maryland maybe andre carter could be his flight companion and save money

SoCalBronco · 03-12-2006, 04:34 PM

Jamal isnt going to get a bonus higher than 7 million. And alot of his deal will be incentive based. People are going to make sure that if he really is on the slide, they will be protected.

I wouldn't root too hard for Jamal Lewis to land here if I were you Beerslug. Him signing here would mean that Terrell Owens isn't. The Broncos seem intent on getting a DE, be it Abraham or Carter and that leaves enough space for about one big offensive acquisition. You've been leading the charge for the Broncos to sign Owens, so you might wanna hope that Lewis stays put in Baltimore.

I'd rather see TO here and I don't think Lewis fits here very well (pass catching) but Shanahan seems to think he would work out here. If we did sign him we would have to run a little different offense IMO.

Like Run on 1st,2nd then playaction on third?

broncohaven · 03-12-2006, 04:51 PM

I think JL is a 3 ypc back for the rest of his career.

backup qb · 03-12-2006, 04:53 PM

he does nothing for me either. Give the rock to Dayne and Bell, and draft a Calhoun, Bell, etc

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports The Ravens opted against tagging Lewis, instead giving him a chance to test the market. While the the team has not given up hope of re-signing the former All-Pro, Lewis has indicated he is ready for a "fresh start."

"My gut feeling is I won't be back," Lewis told The Baltimore Sun.

sorry if its been posted somewhere

That may change now that Chester Taylor signed with Minnesota.

Garcia Bronco · 03-12-2006, 05:36 PM

Awesome...keep him away.

extralife · 03-12-2006, 06:30 PM

ESPN is now saying Jamal will make the trip. The Ravens still seems to have the inside track on keeping him, however, due to a higher volume of crackheads in the Baltimore area.

Also, first post. Hi.

Welcome to the board extralife.

DBroncos4life · 03-12-2006, 06:37 PM

Shouldn't this guy have enough money from selling drugs, or did the gov take that away from him too?

extralife · 03-12-2006, 06:51 PM

Thanks for the welcome, fellas. Now time to find an avatar of some kind.

Might as well state my official opinion on Jamal while I'm here: thumbs down. At this point in their careers, I don't see much of a difference between Jamal and Dayne; one's on the way up, and the other is on the way down. I'm not real big on handing out big money for past production.
