Ray LewisNFL.com's Adam Schefter reports that it would cost the Ravens $11.3136 million to franchise tag free agent Ray Lewis.
It would give Lewis the highest salary of any linebacker in history, at age 34. Schefter points out that the franchise tag must be either 120% of a player's last year salary or an average of the top five players' salaries at the position, whichever is greater. For Lewis, the 120% raise is greater.
