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....

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
