While Ray Lewis and the Ravens are discussing an extension, the linebacker is entering the final year of his contract with the team and could become a free agent for the first time in his career, according to The Baltimore Sun. He insists that his contract situation will not take away from what the Ravens are trying to accomplish as a team. "That [contract] stuff is irrelevant from what we're trying to do now," Lewis said after the first practice of mandatory minicamp. "The bottom line is whatever we're trying to do as a team, that's the focus. If we keep that team concept there, then that team concept stays there. If you start talking about individual, that means nothing. Everybody knows this is a business, and everything will take care of itself. I'm just excited to be back playing football again."
