Ravens To Seek A Trade For Lewis
10th December, 2005 - 4:48 pm
Baltimore Sun - Regardless of running back Jamal Lewis' production during the last month of the season, the Ravens' current plans are to designate him the franchise player and then seek a possible trade. A team would have to give up as many as two first-round picks for Lewis but could surrender less if it reaches an agreement with the Ravens.

Several teams have inquired about Lewis, who seems intent on talking his way out of Baltimore. As for backup Chester Taylor, he's not the long-term answer, not in this offense, anyway. If Taylor becomes the featured back, the Ravens need to have a more diverse offense, one in which the running back becomes more of a weapon as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

If the Ravens stay in the current system with Taylor as the featured runner, he'd wear down by the final quarter of the season. [READ]
