Talking Free Agency

I disagree with Don Banks that Ray Lewis lost a lot by trying to play free agency. Lewis built the Ravens, and they'll still love him when the season rolls around.

Matt Cassell aside, this, as a Cowboy fan, is fascinating:

Now that Chris Canty has signed a six-year, $42 million deal with the Giants, a contract that includes $17.25 million guaranteed in the first two years, here's something to keep in mind: The ex-Cowboys defensive lineman is now better paid than all three of New York's top three defensive ends, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora and Mathias Kiwanuka.

Hope he's worth it. Canty was always mediocre to me.
