Ray Lewis: 'I see Dallas as a great opportunity'

The Cowboys are rumored to be interested in Ravens ILB Ray Lewis. The 10-time Pro Bowler made it clear that he's intrigued by the thought of playing for the Cowboys.

In an interview with the NFL Network (via the Baltimore Sun via Pro Football Talk), Lewis said he wouldn't take a hometown discount to stay in Baltimore. He mentioned the Cowboys and Jets, who just hired ex-Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan as head coach, as attractive options.

Lewis declared that the Cowboys need "one general" when asked about the dysfunctional Valley Ranch atmosphere. He said that needs to be a player, not a coach. And he obviously believes he'd be a great fit for the job.

"I don't see all of that outside stuff that they're talking about what goes on in Dallas," Lewis said. "I see Dallas as a great opportunity. It's always been America's Team. It's just a great place to play football."
