Ravens CAP issues could free up Bolden

[throwing BBZ]

and REED for 1-2 year contracts.

Kruger at 26, a FA maybe worth a 4-5 year conract? PLEASE, Grigs, Pagano KNOW if this is a Good Idea or someone else may be their choice/signable. He sure plays pretty well in this system & hitting his Prime!

If Bolden is Cut, how about giving Bolden 1 yr for $6M maybe 2yrs for $11-12M? He has 1 yr left at $6M.

Offer Reed 1yr $7-8M?

We could Really Elevate our play short term causing No long term CAP problems signing Bolden & Reed.

A NICE Bridge to 2014 FAgency & Draft.

And we would Still have $$$ for a long term investment for a Quality FA O-Lineman, and a few more decent FA`s.

Add in 2-3 Solid Contributing draft picks and we might Bloody more noses next year than many now Expect!!

There is just enough workable MEAT here for me to kinda like the thought of it. Go Colts!

If they could get on that before Sunday we would be in the Superbowl!!!! It's a win win!!!!

That is probably the most ingenious idea I've ever heard.

The Boldin price is about right. The franchise tag price for a FS is a little over 6 mill per year. Ed Reed will get nowhere near 7-8 mill for 1 year. 

[Smonroe]

Boldin would be a nice add, but we have other more important needs.  And Kruger and Reed would look really nice in Colts uniforms.

[Balzer40]

Boldin has been virtually invisible for the last few yrs.. Honestly, I forgot he was even in the league anymore till this playoff run. I'm not totally opposed to bringing in Reed for 1 yr., but that would be it. His play has dropped off the last couple of yrs. and it will only get worse. All we would be paying for is the name IMO and a little mentoring to younger players. Probably wouldn't be worth the money he'll want. Oh yeah, in case I didn't make it clear, NO to Boldin. We do not need him at all.

[CR91]

why would we want a 32 year old wr

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

 

No thanks  Baltimore did'nt want the Colts . I'm happy to be a Indianapolis Colts fan .  The art modell team the former browns & ozzie can stay where they are .

We signed a 33 year old free agent wr last year.. That seemed to work out

[CR91]

that was with the team for 12 years

[TKnight24]

Same thing I said. You just beat me to it

[jvan1973]

that was with the team for 12 years

It doesn't matter, he was still 33

[Freenyfan102]

Kruger would be the guy i would go after that guy a beast

[CR91]

It doesn't matter, he was still 33

 

boldin is another small wr. why would want a another small wr whos gonna be 33 to start the season. if you want a wr bowe would be the better option

[jvan1973]

Bowe is one inch taller than Boldin, and will want WAYYY more money

[Smonroe]

Bowe is one inch taller than Boldin, and will want WAYYY more money

 

WR is not a position of need.  Especially not a position to throw a lot of money at.  Not when we have openings on both lines, and the D backfield.

[Tark The Shark]

Reed possibly for under 7 Million for 1 year. He has run into injuries the past couple seasons and is wearing down.

 

Boldin? No, I like our chances with our current receivers who are getting paid less than Boldin would want. Also ultimately I think Hilton & Brazil can be become just as good as Boldin was, in his prime.

[Gavin]

Both Boldin and Bowe are in the same boat, they have trouble staying healthy for a full season 

 

Bowe has only played 16 games twice  and Boldin only 3 times in 10 years in the league, both are talented but chances are pretty good it would cost us an arm and a leg plus we likely would not have them for a full season if history is an indicator (which it isn't always)

 

 

Not worth the price tags

[CR91]

we could get 5 years out of bowe. boldin would be like 2. bowe would add a different dimension to our offense. hes sure handed, can compete for deep balls, and would give us another number one. bowe is never had a legit qb to throw him the ball and he still puts up numbers

[Freenyfan102]

wow i just love how people want a Wr knowing we dont have a need for it........

[BOTT]

boldin is another small wr. why would want a another small wr whos gonna be 33 to start the season. if you want a wr bowe would be the better option

Boldin is far from small...he is around 225 and plays much bigger than his his listed height due to his physicality....which has been quite apparent in the playoffs. Not that I want the colts to sign him

[jvan1973]

wow i just love how people want a Wr knowing we dont have a need for it........

There are bigger needs, but another wr is a need.

[throwing BBZ]

wow i just love how people want a Wr knowing we dont have a need for it........

Right now we have three wide receivers, Reggie, Brazzill & the new tall guy. Adams is terrible.

Pretty sure Grigs is still looking.

I would agree Boldin is the Opposite from a Smurf.

[CR91]

wow i just love how people want a Wr knowing we dont have a need for it........

 

you expect wayne to play forever

[SilentHill]

We don't need another #2 WR.

[CR91]

We don't need another #2 WR.

 

you talking about boldin or bowe

[jvan1973]

you talking about boldin or bowe

Bowe is going to want huge money.. He won't be here next year

[throwing BBZ]

Boldin has been virtually invisible for the last few yrs.. Honestly, I forgot he was even in the league anymore till this playoff run. I'm not totally opposed to bringing in Reed for 1 yr., but that would be it. His play has dropped off the last couple of yrs. and it will only get worse.

We do not need him at all.

Of course Boldins #`s have been very good and only dropped a little because he plays in a less pass happy Offense compared to AZ. and with a QB who throws at a LOW completion %.

Anquan has put up very solid #`s in the Playoffs 3 of the last four years. Hard to miss.

Based on the Playoff coverage of the last few weeks, I take it that Reed is still quite Feared.

Still a step faster than Zibby and better than Lefeged.

Of course they will be looking League wide and through the draft for talented, cheaper, longer term options.

We actually have some money to burn on 1-2 year contracts as we build the MONSTER thru the draft over the next few years. IMO

[CR91]

Bowe is going to want huge money.. He won't be here next year

 

last i checked we had 46 mil to burn

[jvan1973]

last i checked we had 46 mil to burn

redskins burn money. Smart teams spend the money wisely. Giving Bowe 10 mill + isn't smart when we need an entire oline and half a secondary

[CR91]

if he wants more then 10 mil forget it, but dont be talking like we dont have any money to spend on a big name FA. we have money we have the draft. lets build a championship

[jvan1973]

if he wants more then 10 mil forget it, but dont be talking like we dont have any money to spend on a big name FA. we have money we have the draft. lets build a championship

He wants 10 mill. He made almost that this year

[Dark Superman]

Kruger wants $8 mil a year.

[CR91]

He wants 10 mill. He made almost that this year

 

ok i said if he wants more then 10 mil forget it

[jvan1973]

ok i said if he wants more then 10 mil forget it

I'm sure grigs already has

[CR91]

I'm sure grigs already has

 

if bowe gets the same contract is v-jax im fine with that too. that was 11 mil a year

[ColtsLegacy]

I'd love to have Anquan Boldin, I've always loved his play and his attitude. The Ravens have never used Boldin well (except in the PO, seemingly). He'd give Luck another great safety net which we lack, outside of Wayne, in the WR department.

 

Also, ProFootballFocus loves him, he's rated as the 12th best WR in the passing game with a +12.9 in 2012 regular season.

[Matticusp83]

we don't need another receiver. with Wayne, Hilton, and most people forget Whalen (who i think will be great) and if the bring back either Avery or Collie. Kruger i say we go for. with him and Redding together. enough said.
