Ray Rice needs to demand more MONEY.

by snikin2 on Feb 28, 2010 12:32 AM EST

I hate to say this, but it may be more so, than any other player since Emmit Smith sat out the first few games in the early 90's. I came across a link to the salaries of 2009 Ravens Salaries. It is laughable. Ray Rice may hurt his image a bit to pull this off, but what RIGHT IS RIGHT. There are only 2 ravens in my opinion that are worthy of more dough than RICE. Joe Flacco and Ray Lewis. Ravens management knows this, but do you think they are just going to give it to him. I think not. Check out the list and LAUGH WITH ME. The punter made more $ than Ray Rice. RAY RICE, GO GET YOUR DOUGH, YOUR ARE WORTH IT. http://www.sportscity.com/NFL/Baltimore-Ravens-Salaries

Ok?

According to this list, Koch made greater salary than Haloti Ngata, Michael Oher and Dawan Landry. So not so sure what the big joke is here? We know Rice is going to get his money, but he was only in his second year of his rookie contract, which was not that much. Of course Rice is going to get his. And I hate to disagree with you, but Ray Lewis does not deserve more money than Ray Rice right now. Hope that clears it up for you.

Big Ray Deserves More than Little Ray

Right now. Rice has only played one meaningful year and he will have to earn that next big payday and is on the way to doing so. Lewis has earned his every day for the past 14 years and did so last year as well as he will do next year. Rice had a great year, but earn it over time, not just one season.

You can disagree. That’s what we are here for. Opinions.

The joke is......

He has outplayed his salary. Time to Re-do his contract.

by snikin2 on Feb 28, 2010 5:35 PM EST up reply actions

Aware of this

But the NFL just does not work like that. Just because he had a great year this year, which was his first, does not mean we should and will right away give him 30 million. He is going to have to wait.

Yeah

The NFL isn’t madden, you don’t resign a player to a 7-year 40mil contract after one good season.

My whole point is that he would have to threaten to sit out. Then Ravens would have a problem.

by snikin2 on Mar 2, 2010 12:43 AM EST up reply actions

Rice would not do that. He is not that type of player. That I am sure of. Plus, the Ravens are such a well run organization, that they would never allow something like this to happen. Never.

Let Ray (Rice) get in line

there are a bunch of players on this team who’ve produced and are due for a big payday ahead of him. He’ll have to wait his turn and then be rewarded.

by Bruce Raffel on Feb 28, 2010 6:51 PM EST up reply actions

Exactly. He’s young and will get his hefty contract eventually. This is business, and just about all the people who sit above him on the payroll happen to sit above him in seniority.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Who else could threaten to sit out but Ray Rice. No one else could pull it off.

Why are you even thinking negative like this? Where did this idea of yours come from?

When I stumbled upon Ravens Salaries. Not saying Rice Will sit out. But he has some massive levarage right now. You think Derrick Mason not playing would hurt. Imagine taking Rice out of the offense.

by snikin2 on Mar 3, 2010 10:50 PM EST up reply actions

Sorry, not true

Rice has zero leverage after two years. No precedence and besides with the CBA in limbo, he will have no sympathy from the other players who now are going to miss out on FA.

Haloti Ngata

He has done more to deserve the big pay day than Ray Rice… I LOVE Ray Rice but he has had one good year. Give him 2 (at least) and then he can demand money…. No player (or at least no SMART player) demands a huge payday after one good season with no other season to judge his career on… Haloti Ngata will get a big pay day first

Ngata is ALL WORLD. I agree. But Rice is MVP of this team. No one player could hurt this team more than Rice not playing, and that includes Ngata. Well I take that back, Quarterback. But Flacco is already paid.

It’s not often you can get one over on a star. It would be funny if the Ravens thanked Rice and dealt him. Best 300, 00 ever spent. LOL….Oh wait, Billick is on ESPN. Let me listen. Oh, nevermind he’s talking about QB’s.

by raven on Feb 28, 2010 10:37 PM EST reply actions

He deserves more than Ed Reed though?

Don’t get me wrong I’m a PRO-Ray Rice all the way please believe me but he deserves more than Ed? You left him off your list of folks.

by Dfense4champs2052 on Mar 2, 2010 9:59 AM EST reply actions

Obviously he outplayed his contract, but you can’t just jump and say heres some millions. If we went out and payed everyone who out played their contract then there would be no money at all to spend on areas we need improvement.

by AV23 on Mar 2, 2010 11:49 AM EST reply actions

That would only work if

they could adjust other contracts when players have an off year. Gee, pay for performance? What a novel idea! Think anyone would dog it if they all had one year deals based on specific scales for specific stats? Hmmmm,…what a Union-busting idea!

Baseball, are you listening?

by Bruce Raffel on Mar 2, 2010 1:12 PM EST up reply actions

Do you think baseball has bigger contracts and more money spent than the NFL? I think the Yankees alone equal probably 5-6 teams in the NFL.

Of course MLB is whacked!

EVERY contract is guaranteed for the entire contract as soon as it is signed. At least the NFL can release players and not be on the hook for the remainder of the contract like baseballl has to.

Not everyone can do this. That is why it rarely happens. Emmit Smith pulled it off. Back in his early days.

by snikin2 on Mar 3, 2010 10:54 PM EST up reply actions

Definitely, A-rod probably makes more than some teams. I know he actually does make more than a few baseball teams whole rosters.

by AV23 on Mar 2, 2010 7:57 PM EST reply actions

He doesn't make more in one year than any one team.

That is ludacris. His record deal he signed with the Rangers was 10years 252 million or so. That’s only 25 million a year which there is no way you could sign a 25 man roster for that much. With the league minimums that would be impossible.

The lowest MLB payrolls

are in the $50-70 million range (Nats and Royals).

"The punter made more $ than Ray Rice."

This is laughable because obviously Sam has veteran status over Rice and has accomplished more. I don’t care if he’s just a punter. I don’t think you call a punter that booms punts like their kickoffs just a punter.
