From my perspective, I think the question concerning Boldin's tenure should be, can he do what he's been doing for another year or two? Watching him on TV, it looks to me like he's showing no signs of limping into the end of the season, more that he's a strong, reliable and reasonably healthy 32 year old receiver who very likely has another two years of quality "fuel" left in the tank. It sounds as if he really wants to end his career with the Ravens, and without debating the hometown discount issue, I'd guess he (and hopefully his agent) will work with Ozzie and the FO to make something happen for the team and him.
