Wide receiver Anquan Boldin said he would retire if released by the Baltimore Ravens. Well, it looks like he'll either take a pay cut or hang up the cleats. The Ravens have asked Boldin to reduce his $6 million base salary. He'll be released if he declines, according to FoxSports.com's Alex Marvez. Boldin counts $7.5 million against the cap. There's not much optimism, as sources told the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson, "Unless something dramatic happens, it's an absolutely done deal that Anquan will be released." Source: NFL.com
Wow, Ravens are harsh. I would of assumed they would let the man make his money. After all, he did help them win a Super Bowl.
They're pretty tight up against the cap, and Boldin is relatively replaceable at this point in his career.
He's very replaceable. He made a few big catches in the playoffs, but outside of that he's very average.
