@bobonmycob-come to my city and say that.

Let me guess you’ll shake his hand then….the Baltimore way is to kill those who disagree with them…Just ask their icon…he prefers the knife method…smh

End of the season woe is me tune from Boldin. I have always respected the cat; one of the toughest receivers to ever lace em up. But I’m callin BS here. When he misses a few paychecks and a couple of payments on his house and his Benz the story will change dramatically. Fortunately there are about 20 teams that he can become a starter for. There won’t be a lack of suitors. Nice sentiment and all but… come on man.

I know that the term “fan” is short for fanatic, but I wish some of you people had command “football” sense. For all the “greatness” of P.Manning, he blows his lunch in the playoffs. Flacco, who people cant seem to like, has the same amount of playoff wins as Manning, but in 7 fewer yrs. For everything Flacco is not during the regular season, he is money in the playoffs. And he has been there every year of his pro career. Now, am I in no way saying Flacco is Manning, or better than Manning, what I am saying is that over the past 3 seasons, when its playoff time, he plays big, and I’d rather have that then what Romo, P.Manning, or Matty Ice does, or should I say don’t do come playoff time,WIN!!! Now as far as Boldin goes, $6 mil is a lot for a 33yr old WR. Hopefully they can restructure and get him in for 3 more yrs, at a cap friendly number.

How come you don’t see flacco throw up those wounded duck bombs against the Steelers? And boldin, smith, Jones making any plays against our secondary? Answer.. because the Steelers secondary was #1 against the pass and has corners and safeties that will shut that right down! Although 49ers have a good defense, their secondary isn’t very good! They just don’t matchup with Baltimore. Boldin has subpar speed, but he fights for the ball. He is good, and I’m very happy that the Ratbirds won.. enjoy salary cap hell like the steelers are! There’s always a price for winning a super bowl. Now you can feel the crunch too! Yaaa cheers!

Boldin has been the most reliable pass catcher for the Ravens since he got their in 2010. They will make it work to keep him there a few more years.

This article makes it seem like Boldin isn’t worth 6M a year. Boldin is worth 6M a year.

If it came to that, Mr. Bolden, I’d hope you’d consider coming down and finishing your career with a team in the state you played your college football in, the Miami Dolphins. They just might be in the marget for a free agent wideout or two.

And as a Cards fan, we say F U very much too Boldin.

He’s an awesome WR. Tough as nails. Part of arguably the best WR duo in the NFL (Fitz/Q)

But for all that, I’ll also remember him as pouting, yelling at the coach, and leaving the stadium after we won the NFC Championship because he didn’t get the ball enough.

I thought the saying was “once a Brown, now a Raven”. Atleast according to Cleveland.

I am sure he can parlay that college degree from Florida State into a high paying job. He does have a degree, right?

I have always liked Boldin and he is still a very effective player……I would be thrilled if he was a wide out on the team I sit in the stands and watch on Sundays

Hey, Anquan – why not come down to Washington if things don’t work out for you in Baltimore? You’ll get paid. And you can still play for a team in Maryland whose name starts with an “R” and ends with an “S”.

Boldin was a complete BEAST for the Ravens during the stretch run. If he was not on the team they likely dont win more than a single playoff game.

Ravens would be crazy not to pay him for next year.

Post Season Production is what really matters. It is what should define a player on a good team. All those yards and TDs players rack up in the regular season while going to sleep in the post season doesnt mean anything. But what one does in the post season does.

Im not a Ravens fan in the least, but this decision is too obvious.

Boldin is worth every penny of that 6 Million. Without him, the Ravens wouldn’t have gone as far as winning the Superbowl, that’s for sure. I can think of several times this past season where he has come through for his team. He is going nowhere.

He’s worth his contract in points scored. If he leaves you’ll see Flacco’s numbers plummet back to below-average where he was, BUT we’ll be paying him like a top three guy. That leaves no money to buy or prevent the points lost with Boldin’s departure. Buying a couple of cheaper stiffs to fill out a roster doesn’t replace point production made and lost with a star like Boldin. Flacco OTOH was in the low 20′s amongst QBs in individual point production – some 100 points behind Peyton Manning.

Ok carry on and stay a Raven. Hope they can afford to pay him when Mr MVP takes every penny he can get.

Everyone says he will have to take a pay cut. That’s not exactly true. He is going to be offered 3 mil a year for the next 3 years. (or close to that)

That’s not a pay cut, it’s just getting more cap friendly.

The Ravens probably won’t repeat next year, but that’s because of how difficult it is to repeat in the NFL. That’s it.

I GUARANTEE the Ravens will be in the Superbowl next year…the Broncos and Patriots wont be as LUCKY next year to even get in the playoffs.
