Ravens Closer To Franchising Ray Rice

Itโ€™s been widely expected that the Baltimore Ravens are going to use their franchise tag on RB Ray Rice in the next few days and his agent didnโ€™t do much to dispel the idea.

โ€œThe meeting went fine,โ€ said Riceโ€˜s agent Todd France, per Aaron Wilson. โ€œWe obviously know the tag is coming, but we will continue to have open dialogue.โ€

Rice was said to be looking for a deal close to that of Adrian Peterson but thereโ€™s a chance that heโ€™s lowered his asking in the weeks since that report came out. Thereโ€™s still a chance that the two sides will  continue to work on a deal in the coming months but the Ravens will have to address some other positions before a long-term deal is in place.
