On Sunday, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter hinted that the Baltimore Ravens may cut WRAnquan Boldin to create some breathing room for themselves under the salary cap. The Ravens are in a tough spot when it comes to the cap this offseason, as they are currently projected over it, with players like QB Joe Flacco, S Ed Reed, CB Cary Williams and LBs Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe to sign in the coming weeks.

Boldin continued his strong playoff trend this postseason, catching six passes for 104 yards and a TD in the Ravens' Super Bowl win, and for the quartet of games in Baltimore's run, he had 22 catches for 380 yards and four scores. This certainly muddles the situation a bit, but the financial difficulties could force the Ravens' hand talon here.

The potential market for Boldin after such a run is extensive, and it's not like there was no demand for the Florida St. product prior to the past four games, either. Throughout his NFL career, Boldin has shown the capacity for making tough plays all over the field, and it's almost as if he seeks out the contact that such plays engender. For any team that needs a player of his ilk, that's a huge selling point. And for teams in need of WR help that have designs on being alive in the playoffs in 2013 -- the New England Patriots and Houston Texans, for example -- Boldin is a particularly good fit.

While Boldin may not draw the kind of big-money deal that a player like Mike Wallace or Dwayne Bowe will, the decision on his next team may pay bigger dividends next postseason.

Boldin equals Super Bowl for Panthers in 2014....

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
