"RB McGahee a Raven
NFL notebook
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - Willis McGahee likes to refer to himself as the NFL's best running back. Let's see how he does replacing Jamal Lewis in Baltimore.
The Ravens acquired McGahee in a trade with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, a day after Lewis signed with Cleveland. In exchange, the Bills received third- and seventh-round draft picks this year and a third-rounder next year.
"This is a runner who can make people miss and has the explosion and speed to take it the distance," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said of McGahee.
The Ravens expected McGahee to take a physical either late Thursday or today. It's anticipated Baltimore will attempt to negotiate a contract extension with McGahee, who is entering the final year of a five-year deal.
Buffalo coach Dick Jauron sidestepped questions on why the Bills decided to trade McGahee, especially considering they do not have an immediate replacement for him on their roster. Jauron said the deal was too good to pass up and that it benefited both teams.
Asked if McGahee had requested a trade, Jauron replied: "That's a good question for you to ask him."
McGahee wasn't available for comment.
Despite his claims of being the NFL's best, McGahee had yet to emerge as an elite running back in his three years as the Bills' starter.
McGahee, who missed his rookie season while recuperating from a knee injury, enjoyed his most productive season in 2004, when he had 1,128 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns. His worst season was last year, when he had 990 yards and six touchdowns rushing in 14 starts."
