The thought of our prospects at LB, with little current depth (Ellerbe with two broken thumbs, hamstring issues, back,foot, and ankle issues and Jameel with former knee issues and that neck and spinal issue) is worrisome...I say go younger and healthier in this years draft to secure out future, and ease future cap issues down the road. That is alot of money tied to two players with major injury issues and durability concerns. Use that some of that money for Boldin and secure a contract extension.

The thought of a Boldin retirement makes me want to hurl!!!

finally someone who makes sense .

We arent talking about a one year investment here. Boldin's contract is up after this year. He is likely to retire. If he wanted to play longer they could do an extension, but that doesnt seem like an option. You would rather have 1 year of Boldin than 5 years of Ellerbe? Thats incredibly shortsighted.

in your opinion its shortsighted . in my opinion i would rather pay a productive playmaker then a guy who gets injured allot and may ride the bench half the season. joe needs people to throw to that can actually catch torrey is not good at getting seperation when he does he's good . pitta has good hands boldin has better hands and he is a physical reciever.

He's also the slowest WR in the NFL...how many TDs did he score last regular season?

had it not been for boldin the ravens would have been one and done in the playoffs . then there's this who will take his place ok let's use doss who can only catch two balls in a season let alone make touchdowns in clutch moments. or david reed ,,,,,,,,don't get me started , we have recievers that can't catch period cut them and pay boldin.

Id rather keep Boldin than overpay for Ellerbe tbh

agree 100 percent . we have too many wide recievers now who can't catch on a regular basis.

No it is not a slap in the face. We have a salary cap and cannot afford to pay him. It is as simple as that. Bench riders don't carry a 7 million dollar cap number. If they did, they would be cut.

anquan boldin is not now nor has he ever been a benchrider and he is worth every single penny of the 7 million we don't have another reciever with his hands on the team .

isn't this like a slap in the face though if he wasn't on the team would we have won? No we would not have won .there are players who ride the bench do nothing and still they are on the roster. not turning this into a rant but wow . It's mind boggling that this is even happening.
