After releasing Wilson, I say cut Ducet and bring Boldin back.

Boldin said if ravens cut him he will retire.

I don't see Boldin taking a pay cut. I think he has one foot out the door, personally. He will retire, IMO.

Give him a three year deal and then he really does not have to take a pay cut to come home and finish a Cardinal.

Part of the negotiation process.

He wouldn't come back here for the Bidwills.

Well, that depends if i was the Bidwills or Whiz calling the shots on that. Methinks it was very whizzy.

Anyways, he is absolutely bluffing on retiring. Remember, as great as he is he is still a drama queen when it comes to his contracts.

Not saying I do not want it to happen, just that I don't think it will happen.

We have a better chance at winning the lottery than Q suiting up in a Redbird jersey again!!!

One call from a contender and he's boarding a plane (IMO)

 

[CardsFan88]

I don't think it would happen (him coming here), but all the animosity seemed to have been directed at people that lied to him in the front office and coaching staff. With Graves/Whiz gone, there might be a possibility.

Don't think it would happen though. He might retire, and if not, someone who needs a WR worse than us will pay the man because they have more cap space.

Me either, but dreaming is free!!!

 

[PDXChris]

He wouldn't come back here for the Bidwills.

For the bazillionith time, this was not an ownership decision. In fact, the Bidwills are the ones who wanted to reward him early with the first extension.

Exactly

USA Today is reporting that Boldin has rejected the pay cut and will become a free agent. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...din-rejects-ravens-offer-free-agency/1975345/

3 years.... 7.5 million. 6 mill signing bonus with 500K per year salary.

 

[GatorAZ]

Pass. Love the guy but don't want him here.

As a vested veteran, I don't think you pay him that low.

 

[Goldfield]

We have too many other needs to even consider Boldin. But I would love to see him return.

 

[SeattleCard]

I've moved on from Boldin. No thanks.

 

[Jetstream Green]

That classless, stupid Raven organization

You know, you have theory and logic 100% on your side.

Yet the Cardinals did make magic when Q was paired up with Fitz. If a major part of our overall problem's been the inability to score points on offense and BA and Moore felt they could straighten things out by "bringing back the magic", I say "what the hey! Let's do it. (at the right price).

 

[Fiasco]

I'd take him back in a heartbeat. He's got 3 years left in him (barring injury). He's been the best receiver for the Ravens since he landed there.

 

[Mitch]

Funny how Q was one of the Ravens' top 3 offensive players en route to the Lombardi and now they want to move on. "Once a Raven, always a Raven." Er, that is until "Nevermore."
