[News] Reports: Anquan Boldin Traded For Sixth-Round Pick

[Ray52&27]

What are we doing. I just died a bit now.

[yanmei89]

really though..a sixth round pick? That is what you are saying Boldin was worth..A FREAKING SIX ROUND PICK! He was the Playoff MVP, or at lease in contention. Come on now, what kind of message does that send to him...horrible. Im really pissed about this one. I could tolerate Ed Reed leaving, but Not Anquan..not when this receiving core was just starting to reach its potential....horrid. Absolutely horrid.

[RavensFanThick&Thin]

Wow, just wow. He might be the hardest reciever to replace on the Ravens. I thought an extension with relief on this year's cap would have been talked about at the very least.

[JacktheRaven]

No one on this team can fill Q's spot. Ravens will HAVE to get someone outside to fill this void.

[kduo]

Laquan, Deonte, Streeter, Reed, Doss should all start workin hard.. Next man UP

[BleedingPurple52]

i like it... he was overpriced for the production we got until his last year... Old Derrick Mason out produced him and Mase was older than boldin is now... sure he and Flacco got hot in the playoffs.. but whats to say Flacco cant do that with another guy, cheaper, younger more dynamic... a real difference maker? and at this point in the offseason, its take what you can get... we were gonna just release him... why not get a 6th round pick for it?

[MrRavens]

I don't understand how we just got a 6th round pick, also.. The Seahawks traded a 1st round pick and then some for Percy Harvin. I know Percy is in his prime, but Q is still up there. And I mean, SF has A LOT of picks, Ravens couldn't have gotten a 2nd or a 3rd? I don't get it at all.

[hugostiglitz]

boldin isn't even in the country right now and you trade him away?! terrible!!!

[trickstar21]

i think im gunna be sick

You joking? Who takes a 32 year old receiver for a 1st or 2nd rounder in return?

[Ray52&27]

Q we'll miss you.

[Raven552]

Sorry, but this time I don't "trust in Ozzie".. what a rotten move!!

[blindbat]

Wow for a 6th round pick this is a sad dark miserable day in Ravens history so stupid.

[Stephenjr]

Q was the Ray Lewis of this Offense!!

[steelcityraven]

WHAT????? is right....
IDK... I get maybe we couldnt afford him ... and I get that a 6th round pick is better then nothing but are we serious...

If we were looking to trade BOLDIN>.... I feel like we could have done better then that for sure.

THis one hurts!

[dthomp1473]

to brian 2377 Do you remember Doss DROPPING EVERYTHING THROW AT HEIM in the playoffs and SUPER BOWL. Doss doesn't come close to Boldin. Don't even put him near Boldins class. If you remember it took this front office 9 quarterbacks and EXCATLY how many wide receivers have we went through before they got wise and traded for Boldin.

[RavensInNC]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

worse news I have heard all of off-season!

[Brock397]

how can you trade the best reciever on the team for a 6th round pick

[The Negotiator]

No trust Ozzie or the guy making the contracts, I can name over half the team we could have traded or cut to keep Boldin

[Ravenslifer]

Speechless. Absolutely speechless. I don't know what the front office was thinking, but if their intention was to trade our starting wide receiver to retain an always injured Dannelle Ellerbe and a rotational player in Kruger, it has to be one of the dumbest moves in franchise history. We aren't the Patriots who can just plug and play players into our system.

[edreedfor6]

what are we doing doing to ourselves? im really and i mean really disappointed by this move!
our leaders are gone ray and boldin! birk too!!

[JTRavens17]

Everybody calm down, we knew going in to this that it was gonna be we resign him for a lower cap number or release him. At least this way we got something in return too. Let's all trust that Ozzie knows more than all of us like we always do.

[JakeNumber55]

We better get a HOF that stays with us forever with that 6th pick. Even then I dont think I would be happy about that.

[ravensfan852]

You've got to be kidding me.

[MsMarvel73]

Only a SIXTH ROUNDer??? Ozzie for once and probably only this once, these words come to mind: what a joke.

[accuscoresteve]

anyone else willing to put in $500 to $1000 to make up for the Boldin costs?

[Edreedbest20]

How do you give you QB one of the biggest contracts in history then take away the guy who saved his butt many off times. And to top it off we only getting a 6th round pick???? 4th or 5th round at the least

[The Negotiator]

We had a Play Maker now we No Hans Doss

[mec15]

I love Boldin and I hate this trade. I'm shocked and heartbroken right now.

I think you are joking too. He is definitely worth a 5th rounder AT MINIMUM. Given that he doesn't have speed, he's not going to command anything above a 4th rounder. We should have gotten a 5th and 6th rounder maybe....

But you just made it sound like he was a straight bum
