Apparently he is considering making a comeback...don't we own his rights? I doubt we would keep him if he did come back if we do hold his rights, but interesting nonetheless.

We were ready to cut Boldin and get nothing. The 9ers and Vikings knew that and weren't going to offer us any more than a sixth or a seventh because they knew we wouldn't get anything if we didn't accept the sixth. Our options were to overpay Boldin, cut him and get nothing or get a sixth round pick for him. I think we did the right thing and got SOMETHING for him.

I hear people saying, "What are the Ravens doing? Boldin dominates in the Super Bowl and they trade him away for a sixth? He is worth way more than that!"

Boldin is definitely worth more than a sixth round pick, however with all of the other aspects that non-Ravens fans/followers are unaware of, the Ravens are better off getting the sixth than overpaying or releasing him.
