Various sources are reporting that the Raven's have signed WR Anquan Boldin to a 4 year deal worth 25 million dollars. Aside from adding a top-tier playmaker, the best thing about this deal is the fact the Raven's got him for little more than a song. All they had to give up was a 3rd and 4th round draft.
I can't tell you how excited I am about this deal. I was worried when they signed Stallworth that Ozzie would give up on grabbing another big-name pass catcher. With the addition of Boldin, we are looking at the possibility of having one of the most solid receiving corps in the AFC, if not the whole league. If Mason decides to return, we will probably see Boldin and Stallworth spread wide and Mason in the slot with option of inserting Kelly Washington for 4-wide sets. Does that, or does that not sound fucking sweet?
I think this signing could mean the end to Mark Clayton's tenure in Baltimore, which is more than fine by me. It also spells an end to the horrible rumors flying around that the Ravens could pick of T.O. Thank god that didn't happen.
Also, the fact that the Ravens have bolstered their wide-receiving depth frees the team up to go after players in the draft that help fill other holes, particularly in the secondary.
Lastly, in an unrelated development, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger has again been accused of sexual assault. Could this day get any better?
