BOLLER BACK TO THE BAY?

Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller, who six years ago rocketed up the draft board based on a college career at Cal, could be heading back to the Bay Area, as a member of the Raiders. According to Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune, Boller recently visited the team. Boller, a first-round pick in 2003, became the starter not long into his career, and then opted to stay once he was demoted to backup. He missed all of the 2009 season due to a shoulder injury, and is now an unrestricted free agent. So, after making it through the full season with Joe Flacco and Troy Smith, the Ravens have decided that they really don’t need him. In Oakland, Boller would compete to serve as the backup to JaMarcus Russell. Other quarterbacks on the roster are Andrew Walter and Bruce Gradkowski.
