It was the lead story on Sportscenter @ 6 PM

[seaofred]

ok,i was watching espn news and i guess i must have missed it

[wayne1218]

They reported that Baltimore offered a #1 but Arizona wants more and that they are in heavy talks.

[seaofred]

i wonder what more they are asking for,i would assume they also have to pick up his remaining contract too

[Three Jack]

they want the same thing the Lions got for Williams...at least a 1 and a 3 and maybe a late round pick.

[flarendep1]

I hope they dont give up too much to get him...if they go thru with it.

[seaofred]

awful big price for a team that is going to need their draft picks

[DIRK]

Cards should take the deal if they get a 3rd rounder too, they definatley don't want him playing for the Giants or Eagles next year.

If I am the Ravens I would trade a first and 3rd for Boldin in a heartbeat. This guy is a game changer. If the Ravens use their first round choice on a receiver, which everyone expects, they would be hoping to be drafting the next Boldin, so why draft someone and hope they are the next Boldin when you can have the real thing. As for giving up a 3rd round choice, if that is the price to pay to line up an All Pro WR for the next 5 years so be it.

Totally agree--the guy is a stud!

I just read that the Ravens don't have the CAP room to sign Boldin unless the Cards agree to take a player or two in a trade, so don't hold your breath waiting for the Ravens to trade for him

That's unfortunately the price for having a big stud defense. They may be able to swing something though. I wouldnt necessarily get down on it just yet.
