Smizzy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Ravens | J. Lewis not a lock to be tagged Tue, 7 Feb 2006 19:32:44 -0800 Jamison Hensley, of the Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome suggested Tuesday, Feb. 7, that it is not a certainty RB Jamal Lewis will be given the team's franchise tag. The Ravens have 15 days before an NFL-mandated deadline (Feb. 23) that will force them to either place the tag on their all-time leading rusher or let him become an unrestricted free agent. If they franchise him, they will have to give him a one-year, $6 million tender offer. Asked if a decision has been made on Lewis, Newsome said, "Not really." Asked if the Ravens would let Lewis become a free agent, Newsome said, "It could possibly be that." It appears the only guarantee is Lewis won't be receiving a new long-term deal from the Ravens before free agency begins March 3 .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Who said he would get the tag in the first place? Coke dealing running backs with two bad knees that have back-to-back terrible seasons usually don't get tagged. What's next? Jets |C. Baker not a lock to be tagged?
