There is speculation in Baltimore that middle linebacker Ray Lewis and cornerback Chris McAlister are unhappy and want out.

Soon after the season ended, moving and storage trucks were outside the Granite home of Ravens running back Jamal Lewis. He can become an unrestricted free agent next month if the Ravens don't designate him the franchise player. Lewis, in Atlanta, says he doesn't know what the future holds. He says the Ravens have not had contact with him or his agent since the season ended. "I sold my house. I had to get out from under it because I'm not sure of my future," Lewis said. "I've had that house for six years, but there is no use keeping it if you aren't going to be there. If I end up back in Baltimore, I'll just rent an apartment for six months or less." Lewis expects the Ravens to put the franchise tag on him, and he has no problems playing in Baltimore again as long as he is the featured runner. "The players association thought that designation [franchise player] would be a good thing, that it could be used as leverage," Lewis said. "But I think I am more valuable than that. I don't want to come back to a situation where I carried the ball only 10 to 15 times a game like last year. I'm used to carrying it 20 to 25 times a game. I want that kind of workload. If the Ravens want to give me that, I'll be more than happy to play in Baltimore again, or anywhere else." According to a league source, the Ravens have been sending out "feelers" to gauge the interest in Pro Bowl middle linebacker Ray Lewis. We're not talking heavy-duty stuff here, but the word was out. Teams, though, might not want to trade for a player who is on the decline, is injury prone and has three years left on his contract worth $5.5 million next season and $6.5 million in 2007 and 2008.

Deion Sanders made his final NFL start on Sunday, with the future Hall of Fame cornerback expected to announce his retirement in the near future, team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Prime Time started the Ravens' 20-17 season-ending loss to Cleveland, in place of Pro Bowl cornerback Chris McAlister, who is sidelined with a thigh injury. Sanders recorded a tackle in all but one game in which he took the field for the Ravens, including three in his finale. He finished the season with 29 total tackles and two interceptions in 14 games. The team sources also said Sanders, 38, is serious about wanting to continue his career in football as a head coach, if not in the NFL then perhaps one day at his alma mater, Florida State. Sanders signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Ravens before this season after rejoining the club the previous season following a three-year layoff.
