Joe’s cap numbers increase significantly in the next couple years. If you extend his contract and turn a portion of his base salary into a signing bonus to be paid to him in the next couple years it will cost them a ton to release him when their cap gets even tighter then than it is now. If Joe would have realized that he isn’t worth his contract his cap numbers in the future would be much lower making it easier to extend Boldin rather than asking him to take a pay cut when he has more than earned what is due to him. He was the best player on the team in the playoffs and Superbowl.

After reading some of the stuff he said,there’s no way he’s taking a pay cut because gosh, he has earned his money and he knows it. He made a lot of tough catches in in the clutch. The ravens are dumb to play hardball with this man..good luck RAVENS!

Haters are up early this morning. Ravens FO is the best in the league and know exactly what they are doing. Oz is better than your teams GM, plain and simple. Ravens will be competing for Lombards for years. Get used to it. Cheers!

This is not a joke…but I really think this guy needs to be banned. He is dangerous. While this post does not contain a threat prior ones have. He often makes threats that seem to be tolerated. You should I.D.his computer. Ban him and if continues contact the Law before he makes due on one of his prior threats against others. God Bless and good day.

Maybe they can convert some of that base salary into a signing bonus for next year and extend him a year or two.

How much do they seriously need for Ellerbe? I was sure the 4 million or so saved from Ray would be enough to secure him for this year. Ellerbe is good but he’s not a 50 million dollar LB like Bowman or Willis.

That said, Boldin is a baller.

When asked what type of pain medication he was taking after the Jets rearranged his face a few years ago, he said, “None”.

Dude showed up for the Ravens when it counted, even in his senior years. This is one example quite opposite of players who disappear after getting huge coin.

Ravens should let him retire to enjoy life and slip a 5M check under the table as a “wink-wink” thank you. Without him, I really don’t think they would have hoisted Lombardi.

I don’t think another team will pay him 6 mil. or more than the Ravens.

He is the big reason the Ravens had success in the postseason. Flacco just realized he had a huge weapon in Boldin. Pay him and keep him or be prepared to have an embarrassing season, SB Champs

Boldin would be smart to take the pay cut and stay with an offense he knows and a QB he can trust. For what the Ravens want to restructure for, is probably more than he will get elsewhere. I applaud the Ravens for negotiating in this manner.

We actually have $13M to date, and likely another $3M once Leach goes. And assuming you have never followed the Ravens ill clue ya in on something: the Ravens had planned on asking Q to cut pay a loooong time before Joe got paid. They want an extension out of him to reduce cap. Again. Has nothing to do with Joe and everything to do with a 32 year old possession receiver who prior to this post season is a number 2 guy AT BEST on any other team.

They sit there and witness Pittsburgh the entire DECADE and THEN SOME mix and match their salary cap to get under and compete because of the sallies a Super Bowl caliber team gets you. The greatest man in sports entertainment (to Ravens fans, Ozzie Newsome) has NEVER been in this situation before and will find out very quickly that contracts as big as Flacco’s will begin an era of serious chops and restructuring. The Steelers have been the best at it and have been dealing with it for YEARS. The Ravens? Good luck, it’s only just begun. Enjoy having the target on your backs. Baltimore wasn’t very good to begin with so there’s no reason to believe they’ll continue the trend of the usual Johnny-Come-Lately champions.

All three QBs are rapt in anticipation of picking up the best clutch receiver over the past 7 years.

Come on Ravens, cut the man so he can earn his deserved money with another team where they will appreciate the real MVP of the last Super Bowl.
