    Boldin | Which would you rather?

    If you could be assured one of the above-mentioned options was available, but just one option, which would you prefer?

    BTW, on option 4 I assume they'd be signing a defensive player they'd otherwise lose if they kept Boldin at $7.5 million against the cap. In other words, if you elect to keep Boldin, you have to be okay with losing a player like Ellerbe or Reed.

    Wouldn't you have to list the options

    The way the message board software works is you have to post the message first and then go back and post the poll -- so there is a lag in you seeing the poll options.

    I don't think I needed to vote for everyone to be aware of what I would have preferred, but I did anyway.

    We have to remember Caldwell is going to run his system next year, not Cam's. With Joe and Torrey's ability to make the D respect the deep ball the middle of the field will be wide open. Austin could be deadly in that role. Not only with his speed, but his uncanny ability to make people miss in space. Once teams cheat up on him Torrey will blow the top off.

    On top of his quickness, Austin provides vertical speed from the slot position. If safeties cheat up on Torrey, Austin is capable of winning over the top.

    Can't they elevate Tandon Doss, resign defensive players and draft Tavon Austin?

    I came back to this thread, thinking I forgot to say that. I truly believe Austin adds an element this team is sorely lacking. Add Rice to the mix and this O could give teams fits.

    Yes they can. Steve Bisciotiti has been adamant about not drafting players and keeping them on the bench for years on end.

    Re: Boldin | Which would you rather?

    I voted that way as well. I just don't see it realistically happening.

    However, if that was possible, I would cut Jacoby Jones instead and try to extend Boldin at a lower cap hit. I love what Jones did in 2012, but that guy can't catch. Those two playoff bombs came right into him and bounced off his body. The returns are great, but I'm not so sure that's worth a $4M cap hit, especially if the Ravens could get someone who was 70% of what Jones brought to the table as a returner. That's a tradeoff I would be willing to make.
