Holy crap.

Aaron Wilson: Anquan Boldin traded to #49ers for a sixth-round pick

 

[Bemular]

One of the best possession receivers in the game! Way to go Trent!

Shit just got real!

Eric Branch:

Anquan Boldin has (had?) a base salary of $6 million in 2013. #49ers

Boldin is on record saying he would retire if the Ravens cut him....I wonder if he will since they traded him?

I think he's backed off on that.

Tim Kawakami:

When the 49ers drafted Crabtree, then-GM Scot McCloughan said Crabtree was closest thing to Anquan Boldin. Now they have both.

I hated that comparison at the time and I hate it now. Go figure...McCloughan!

Anquan Boldin - WR - 49ers

49ers acquired WR Anquan Boldin from the Ravens in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick.

 

[BINGO]

Shit just got real!

Word.

We are running slants all day with Crabtree and Boldin, and I dare you to try to tackle them.

Adam Kramer:

In response to the flurry of moves, the Arizona Cardinals have given John Skelton a 5-year $170 million extension. YOUR MOVE, RAMS.

That would have been a little funny if the Cardinals hadn't just hired Steve Keim as general manager a few weeks ago.

 

[BINGO]

Me too! But I think he meant in terms of YAC ability.

What a great signing, also read that we will be signing Tynes as our kicker and the the CB Smith from the Phins

 

[shouldakepowens]

Guess that means no Manningham? Why can't this just move faster.

MM has a torn up knee and he will be with us this year, but might not be ready to go until mid way thru the year

 

[ChrisPozz]

Guess that means no Manningham? Why can't this just move faster.

I would hope not!

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Manningham might be cut was what he meant. He would free up a good amount of cap space.

Should we extend Boldin and make his contract friendlier?

 

[BINGO]

Anquan Boldin - WR - 49ers

49ers acquired WR Anquan Boldin from the Ravens in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick.

The Ravens were on the verge of releasing Boldin, so GM Ozzie Newsome did well to get a pick back for a receiver entering his age-33 season and still clearing all of his $6 million base salary off of the books. Boldin adds another physical possession receiver to Colin Kaepernick's arsenal, though we'd expect Boldin to take a bit of a backseat to Crabtree and Vernon Davis in 2013. As great as Boldin was in the playoffs, he does not create separation. To fully capitalize on Kaepernick's arm, the 49ers either need A.J. Jenkins to step up as a vertical stretcher, or they'll need to find one someplace else.

Adam Schefter:

Anquan Boldin needs to pass physical before trade with 49ers becomes complete; he's in Africa on mission. Physical, trade completion await.

 

[Badger8843]

Boldin was the reason we lost the SB
