Ravens’ negotiating with Ray Lewis for an extension

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said the team is in “open dialogue” with Lewis on a contract extension and would actively pursue him if he reaches free agency.

“If he becomes a free agent next year, I think the Ravens would probably outbid other teams,” Bisciotti said today during a break at the NFL annual meetings. “We know Ray’s value more than the other teams. We know the leadership he brings to the team. We know the commitment and the effort he gives to winning.”

This is the first time the Ravens have allowed Lewis to reach the final year of his contract.
