Ravens owner paying for players, coaches to attend Tray Walker's funeral

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is giving all of his players and coaches the opportunity to attend the funeral of Tray Walker, who died Friday of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

Bisciotti told reporters Tuesday at the owners meetings that he'll be paying for the Ravens to fly to Walker's funeral, which will take place Saturday afternoon in Miami.

"That's the least we can do," Bisciotti said. "The fact that they all want to be there obviously is the right reaction. I'm happy they are going to be there representing us, showing the family how much he meant to us. That's really what you want to express."

Walker was riding dirt bikes with friends in Miami when he collided with an SUV at an intersection. He suffered severe head trauma in the crash and was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition.

"This is just so new to us that it really is hard to process," Bisciotti said. "Just talking about football seems a little hollow, a little disrespectful maybe. The players and the camaraderie that they build with each other, the closeness that they build, this is just sad for them."
