AB, come play with the $650,000 QB, Kaepernick. No pay cuts and more rings I promise.

It’s a cat and mouse game right now. Relax people
=================================

Exactly how is this a cat and mouse game? Who’s hiding from who? Explain this. How is this not a slam dunk for “the best front office in the history of sports”? Ozzie knows everything right? Ozzie is God right? Tell us more. Idiot.

Hate to break it to you haters but Boldin said the Ravens have not asked him to restructure and he expects to play in Baltimore. Just another awesome weekend for the Ravens while their rivals continue to suffer the repercussions of restructuring deal after deal after deal. Cheers!

I love Boldin to stay but he is not worth the price. Ozzie and Co. know how much a receiver is worth. If Boldin thinks he can get more then by all means go for it. In this salary cap business, it sucks to see talent leave. The Ravens drafted Ben Grubbs and turned him into a pretty good lineman. Then the salary cap came into play and he took the money in NO. Nature of the business Im afraid

Boldin Expects To Play 2013 In Baltimore
Wide receiver Anquan Boldin was in Arizona today for the Kurt Warner Ultimate Football Experience. While there, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Boldin told him that he expects to play in Baltimore next season with his existing deal. Boldin said the Ravens have not asked him to restructure his deal, as previous reports suggest.

It blows me away how reporter are able to get away with saying anything. Just not fair GOT DAM LIARS

During the playoff run Boldin was Flacco’s security blanket.

You alway keep guys that play big in big games ( Boldin) and you let go of guys that play small in big games (Rice).

Pay Boldin, trade or cut Rice, start B. Pierce.

Problem solved.

Flacco should have taken less to sign Boldin, that’s a terrible move for the Ravens. Plenty of takers for his services.

No way the Ravens win the super bowl without Boldin, IMO. And without him next season, I look for Flacco to return to the mediocre QB he has been in the past. Better get him signed.

So Ravens fans go after Steelers fans and point their fingers and laugh over the James Harrison release but ultimately forget about the upcoming loss of Boldin, Lewis and soon, Reed? Typical.

Wow, I would ask the other 52 on roster to take a pay cut before Boldin. Bad move !

Bengals can give him 6 mill if he really wants to stick it to the Ravens. Would fit in great with A.J.

If the Falcons got Boldin to play Harry Douglas’ position, they’d score 40+ a game. They wouldn’t need a pass rush. They’d have the outisdes covered and a mack truck in the middle that can catch. If Gonz comes back, too? Could you imagine? Who would stop that?

Right. Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith had nothing to do with Flacco’s success.

Keep huffing your paint, donks.

any one on this board who thinks he will get more than 3 mill is clueless. to get big wr money a wr has to be able to create some kind of separation, which he has’t been able to do in Baltimore

“You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone..”

The Ravens are silly if they don’t think Anquan Boldin is worth $6 million a year. I’d take him on my tam in a heartbeat.

while Boldin played a big part last year, Could any one name one team that would pay him 6 mill per?
another point, the reason he had to catch the jump balls because he gets absolutely no separation from a db

Eagles should trade Desean for a pick and sign Boldin for $6Million. It cuts another $3-4Million off their cap, improves their WR group and adds at least a 3rd pick for a team that needs depth.

Loves seeing all of these Ravens haters talking crap about how Flaccos contract is a burden and that is why they have to let Boldin walk. If you morons knew what you were talking about then you would realize that Joe’s cap hit is minimal for the first three yrs! His number isn’t much different than last season, making it possible to keep Boldin but probably not feasible!

Obviously the Ravens don’t view Boldin as crucial to the team by making such a low contract offer in demanding such a huge reduction in pay. I’ve always respected Boldin but at this point in his career he is not a $6 million dollar receiver. He never was fast to begin with but now he really has problems separating. There arr few teams that would consider him or pay him number one wr money.

You’d swear that the Ravens just cut Jerry Rice judging from the comments alone.

But most people also thought that the Ravens would never win with Flacco too, and that was a wildly accurate belief……

Its funny how People say Boldin made Flacco. But when Receivers make Brady, Peyton etc look good the likes of Brady get the Credit. Boldin made some great Catches in Traffic but The Reason he makes Great Catches in Traffic is because he can’t get Seperation from defenders.

Boldin would be a great addition for the Vikings. Ponder can throw dying quails just as well as Flacco…

This entire game of hardball made zero sense from the get go. As good as Flacco was in the 6 games after Cameron got the ax, Boldin was the one who truly carried the entire offense, Rice and Pierce in the run game included. The Ravens have no one on their roster who can immediately fill Boldin’s role as a chain mover other than Pitta and as much as I love him, he is nowhere near the physical prescence Boldin is and he is a freakin’ tight end. There is no one the Ravens can get in the draft who can come immediately in and fill Boldin’s role and any free agent who they look at to do the same will likely. want more than Boldin’s salary. Not to mention that the Ravens unlike other teams are actually under the cap even with Flacco’s deal. Why not ask the guys who really underperformed last year to take a cut (as much as I support you, I’m looking right at you Ngata).

Let’s face it…it’s a salary cap issues. The Raven’s owner would gladly pay him $6 million dollars then slap him on the ass and say “let’s go to Ruth’s Chris, get a steak, and celebrate.” It’s actually a good dilemma for the Ravens…they could have and owner that hates to spend and has plenty of salary cap space..*ahem…Cincinnati, Cleveland, Jacksonville….
