Trade for Boldin - Page 2

EdReedUnstoppable · 04-19-2009, 01:59 AM

I'm now completely against this because Im supersticious and the last time we didn't have a 1st rd pick we had the worst draft in the history of the Baltimore Ravens!

BmoreBlackByrdz · 04-19-2009, 02:45 PM

yeah, im slightly against it as well, but if it were to happen, I wouldn't be THAT upset. Afterall, he will instantly be the best WR to ever wear a Ravens uni.

ccB · 04-19-2009, 02:51 PM

I am for it, as long as it doesn't mess up our ability to re-sign Gaither/Ngata/Suggs and doesn't include Suggs in the deal. I am not completely educated on the financial structure of the team so I don't know if we'd have the space to get all that done or not, it seems like we wouldn't because I'd imagine all three of those players would be getting big deals and you'd have to add on a big deal for Boldin. But I think adding Boldin to our pre-existing roster would make us a super bowl caliber team.

I'm pretty sure we don't have the cap space to take on Boldin's CURRENT contract in a trade, so we'd have to cut/trade somebody.

And like I said before I would rather have Suggs and draft a WR than to get Boldin and try to replace Suggs.

We Taged Suggs Two Times! And never come to an Extension!!
We shouldn't forget about this.

But, our Defense lost this year great players, and i don't want to lose another one!

So, i like to have him in Baltimore, but if the Price is too much high, we should stay and Draft an WR in the 1st and get another Travis Taylor

Or we can draft WR and get our first Randy Moss

That was a pretty awful draft..not to mention Ozzie has 2nd round disorder syndrome.

Ravens1991 · 04-19-2009, 06:11 PM

I think Rice will break that!!!!

Also he has a pretty good history of picking at 26. Granted we only picked there once

Smokey Joe · 04-19-2009, 06:17 PM

I don't see Suggs sticking around with you guys after this season. Afterall, you've franchised him twice and haven't been able to come to an agreement on an extension. I think that indicates Suggs wants to hit the open market, and once he does that, he's gonna get a BIG contract.

I think you guys should definitely go after Boldin. There's no guarantee that anyone you draft does ****, but you know Boldin will put up all-pro numbers and vastly imrpove your offense.

TACKLE · 04-19-2009, 06:17 PM

I'd been on board for a trade. I understand that the contract is an issue but the Ravens are in a position to win now. I think a WR like Boldin would help push them over the top. Plus I'll take Boldin any day over Britt/DHB/Nicks/Harvin. If those guys hit their peak, they might be almost as good as Boldin. I just think he's too talented to pass up.

Ravens1991 · 04-19-2009, 06:49 PM

I think it has to be a on the clock trade. I am nervous it puts us in cap hell. But if he brings us to a superbowl it would be worth it.

hahaha i've never seen that picture.

I'm not a big fan of the trade, mostly because of Bolding making us break the bank for an almost 29 year old receiver who's always dinged up. I just don't see him putting up huge numbers in our offense.

Win now is not greater than keeping Ngata and Gaither in the future.

I know 2010 could be uncapped but how much under the cap are they?

We are about 5 mil. under the cap as it is. I think we would have to trade somebody to get Boldin, or cut someone just before. Even if 2010 is uncapped, we would be ****** for when the cap comes back.

ravensfan3jt · 04-19-2009, 08:45 PM

just wondering can anyone explain how the uncapped capped stuff works?

ccB · 04-19-2009, 11:39 PM

Apparently, 105.7 radio is reporting that John Clayton says the Ravens are the front runners to get Boldin in a deal that involves Willis McGahee + draft pick (s).

Also from what I've read the talks started out with Suggs for Boldin straight up, but we turned that down, then the Cards offered Boldin for our 1st and 3rd, but this is the first time I've heard about Willis being included.

Willis' huge contract might be an issue if it eats up a lot of space. Rice had better be ready to step up if that happens, but I'd be all for it.

Another rumor is our 1st and Todd Heap for Boldin. Fenikz (NFLDC user) said AZ radio stations are reporting a rumored deal involving Ray Rice as well. Whatever happens it looks like we are the front runners to land Boldin, if he goes anywhere that is.

Sounds good, On Madden 2009 i did the same!
Trade Willis and a 1st Round Pick to the Cardinals :D

You clearly don't know much about the Ravens.. Suggs isn't leaving he wants to stay here and likes playing with Ray.

As for drafting I think of all the Teams in the NFL we draft better then any other Team. We get good value out of just about every pick we make.

I do agree we should be out to get Boldin but not at the expense of jeopardizing the future he is 29.

ChefMike · 04-20-2009, 08:20 AM

If Willis is in the deal we are in good shape..and I think that would be a steal.. but it does mean we are drafting a RB early in the draft... Rice is good and Le'Ron is great but we need another home run hitter in the backfield...

Holy ****! Now that is a deal I could live with. Boldin's contract would kinda be close to what McGahee's is, and there fore it wouldn't affect what we do in the future so much. McGahee + a 2nd wouldn't be too bad.

I also could see the Heap deal going down. It almost seems like a perfect fit (he also went to ASU like Suggs) for both Heap and ARI. Heap's contract isn't quite at McGahee's level, but it would at least cancel out about half of Boldin's wants.

Ravens1991 · 04-20-2009, 01:48 PM

I agree jump all over that. McGahee and a 2nd. I doubt it happens but if it would work we gotta do that in a heart beat!!!!!
