Did you miss the 14 page thread? lol

I agree about Walker. Great player that seems to do it all, just never gets the recognition. He's exactly the type of player I see the Ravens going after.

I get what you're saying. It's obviously much easier to contribute as a FB since it usually means that there is going to be a run. A lot of Boldin's snaps resulted in him being a decoy or just not getting open. I'm just looking at Leach's high salary and finding it somewhat difficult to justify paying him that much, especially against a tight cap. With that being said, I wouldn't be opposed to having Boldin and/or Leach on the team next year. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Boldin and/or Leach cut as well.

Yeah I mean Leach is obviously a tough decision. But, if you compare their production, or even their snaps played last year, Boldin is clearly more valuable to this team. I love Leach as a player, but I find it hard to pay him such a high salary to play 20-40% of the snaps per game. Boldin, on the other hand, probably played 90% of the snaps last year. I think it all is coming down to getting those young guys some chances though.

I find it interesting that Boldin would be the first cut of the tough decisions, regardless of his salary. Guys like Leach, Ayanbadejo, and others are still out there that seem to have less of a spot on this team than Boldin. Cutting those 2 alone would cover almost $4 million compared to the $6 million we'd save from cutting Boldin. If this indeed does turn out to be true, I guess the Ravens are content with moving on and giving their younger players a chance to contribute.

Yes you can. This is what Ozzie does best. He routinely lets go of good veterans and let's the young guys see the field. If he doesn't like what he sees, Ozzie will make a move and sign somebody to fill that role. It happens every year.

As much as most people hate to hear it, Doss will take that role. Everyone remembers his poor game against the Colts and forgets the big plays he had for us this year. He's made a few very nice, difficult catches over the middle of the field to extend drives. He's also pretty good at drawing pass interference. Is it realistic to think Doss will match Boldin's production in his first year? No, but I do think Doss can come in and perform well.
