A Numbers Game for Ravens Linebackers

by Bassett on February 27th, 2009 at 12:15 am

The gang at PFT has reported where the contract talks left off for the Ravens two ILBs before midnight

… the Ravens have offered Lewis a three-year, $24 million contract with $17 million guaranteed. Scott’s offer has an annual average of $7 million, and more years.

D. Rose reported those similar numbers earlier today for Lewis and I had said the other day that I thought that it would take about $8 million TCV / year to get Scott to New York, and that seems like it will bear itself out.

    Is the general consensus that the offer from Baltimore is enough? Or that it’s NOT enough?

    Not enough for Scott

    Surprised Ray didnt accept that offer thought

    JP … it’s close, but not enough … there were reports today that the two sides were about $500K away from an agreement. I’m imagining that was $500K annually.

    Ravens screwed up – it should never have gotten to this point, if they wanted to keep him. He reads the headlines, and knows there are a number of teams out there with the cap space to give him what he wants.
