Ray Lewis?

The reason Ray Lewis is being offered is several-fold

1.

He is going to turn 31 in May.

2. He reportedly wants more money.
3. He played 6 games this year.

4. The Ravens didn't drop off much with the younger Bart Scott who will

be an unrestricted Free Agent.

Would I give the Number 17 pick for Ray Lewis? Probably not. Although the Vikings could be a great MLB away from a big-time Defense.

Lewis did have very high grades from PFW, AND Scouts. INC for his play last year-10 player in Football grade.

The last time the Vikings traded a 1st for a LB wanting more money in 1989 for Mike Merriweather. Merriweather wasn't near the player Lewis was though.

My main reasons are being leary about age and cap concerns as to not being huge on it. Though I still think Ray Lewis is a Pro Bowl player. If I thought the Vikings were Ray Lewis away from the Super Bowl, I would do it. But they still have serious offensive question marks at QB, RB, OL, with no number 1 receiving option.
