Ray Lewis Tampers With Cowboys
According to DeMarcus Ware, legendary Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis has done everything but send flowers and furs to the Cowboys front office in hopes of fleeing to Dallas in free agency.
Ware, speaking to the Cowboys official website, said Lewis told him playing for Dallas was his dream. The first instance of that came, according to Ware, when the teams met during the regular season. The second occasion was at the Pro Bowl.
"He came at me every day," Ware said of Lewis at the Pro Bowl. "He's trying to get down where the star is. He told me he needed me to get him (owner) Jerry Jones' phone number for him. I just busted out laughing."
I'm not sure how much stock to put in this story. I don't doubt for a second that Ware is recounting exactly what Lewis said. But I could also see Lewis saying, "You're so fat, when you cut yourself you bleed Haagen-Dazs."
In other words, the man could be exaggerating. It's not beyond the realm. Strange as Lewis sometimes seems, he does seem a little more discreet than to boldly announce to another player what his actual intentions are.
That's probably not going to cheer up jilted-feeling Ravens fans this week, though. In the past month, Lewis has made his love and loyalty to the city of Baltimore one of his talking points as he approaches free agency at the end of this week for the first time in his 13-year career.
If this is indeed the end of his Baltimore days, his dalliance with Dallas will cast a minor and temporary pall over things. It will also make it harder for anyone to believe the tears he'll no doubt shed at an exit press conference over leaving Baltimore.

Dallas should welcome Ray Lewis as a "Locker Room Stabilizer" only. He is and has been a great force in the 3-4 for many years. However; Jerry would be out of his mind to pay and exorbitant amount of money for a linebacker of this age. I could see doing a 2-year deal in the neighborhood of $1 million dollar base salary with incentives based on tackles and games played that could pay a max of $3.5 million. Pro-rated signing bonus of 3 million. Ray-Ray has gotten a ring, Now let him live his dream.
Ray that's cool everybody want's to be a Cowboy but your a Raven and you need to beat Pittsburgh first you must lead first the Cowboys will be their for you I just wish you would have felt this way about the Cowboys years ago well good luck on this matter maybe Jerry will return your phone call.
Leon Cowboy Williams.
The Cowboys are a joke. Let Ray head down there to the freak show. No playoff wins in 10 years. Don't see how that will change as long as Romo is QB.
Ray Lewis can easily be a Cowboy. He has all the qualifications Jerry Jones requires:
1. A criminal record.
2. Nothing else
Why doesn't anybody remember that this piece of garbage murdered two men with a knife and then obstructed justice to beat the rap? Legendary linebacker? How 'bout legendary murderer. Send him to Dallas. They love paying for garbage.
robby baby......get your facts straight prior to posting and making a fool of yourself
Facts?
Hey retard,
The facts are that he obstructed justice. The fact is that he murdered two people in cold blood and sped off into the night in his limo. He beat the rap because the prosecutors couldn't bring the goods in court. Never found that knife. Just Like OJ.
OJ was innocent too, huh?
r
my comment still stands.....he murdered no one....do the research
Rob = Steelers Fan
Every player in the league want to be a Dallas Cowboy, the most popular sports team on earth.
Why don't you 2 idiots stop harping on the past? The court of law found Ray and OJ no guilty and can you 2 dummies just accept that. There are a lot of teams out there wanting Ray, so both of you all get your facts straight.
How come the Raiders aren't going after anyone they must have learned there lession from free agents last year.
Is this true?Ray Lewis want to become a cowboys? hmmmm....He can easily be a cowboy.
ok ray lewis is the best linebacker that ever set foot on a gridiorn and he wouldnt leave baltimore for dallas, dallas is terrible and he is the defense in baltimore. He wouldnt leave his team for the worst team south of well one of the worst teams ever, and demarcus wear is just trying to stir things up with the ravens
