Bisciotti expresses optimism for Rice deal

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti sounded optimistic when talking about the negotiations for Ray Rice's extension. He acknowledged to the Baltimore Sun on Friday that a gap still exists between the running back and the tam but said "I think we’re close enough. I think we’re heading somewhere." The sides have until July 16 to reach a deal. If the sides can agree before that deadline, Rice has to play under the $7.7 million franchise tender.
