from Aaron Wilson’s article in the Sun
Should the Ravens opt to cut veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin, which isn’t necessarily the Super Bowl champions’ intention despite a $6 million base salary and a $7.531 million salary-cap figure, then Boldin insists he’ll retire.
Boldin, 32, told Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports that he doesn’t want to play for another team.
“Baltimore is the only place I want to play,” Boldin said in an interview set to air at 5 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network. “It’s the last place that I will play. For me, I’ll retire a Raven, I’m not putting on any other uniform. .. We have a saying, once a Raven, always a Raven, and I’ll always be a Raven.”
Of course, the Ravens could retain Boldin at his current salary or do a salary-cap friendly extension as they did last spring with strong safety Bernard Pollard that would lower his cap figure for 2013 by converting his salary into a bonus and prorating the bonus over a few seasons. The Ravens have yet to broach that possibility with Boldin, according to league sources, but it’s regarded as an option the team is interested in exploring.
My take: that’s enough for me. Re structure Anquan’s contract NOW!!!!
