Anquan Boldin Wants to End Career as Raven
NFL.com
Coming off a killer postseason, Anquan Boldin proved to be a money receiver. But he's willing to call it a career if the Baltimore Ravens let him walk in free agency.

"For me that's not something that I worry about," Boldin said on NBC Sports Network's "Pro Football Talk" on Friday. "I think you go out and let your play speak for itself. You deal with that if you have to, but, I think for me -- I know for me -- Baltimore is the only place I want to play. It's the last place that I will play. For me, I'll retire a Raven, I'm not putting on any other uniform.

"I won't play in another uniform. We have a saying, once a Raven, always a Raven, and I'll always be a Raven."

Those are some pretty strong words from a player who could probably command a nice salary if he were to hit the open market. The Ravens -- like many teams -- don't have a ton of cap flexibility, and things won't get easier with a Joe Flacco contract on the horizon that could be worth as much as $20 million per year.

Boldin, 32, is scheduled to earn $6 million in 2013, the final season of the four-year, $28 million deal he signed with the team in 2010. The $6 million is not guaranteed. Four of Boldin's eight touchdowns came in the postseason when he emerged as Flacco's most consistent target.

He's made millions, just won a championship, in good health. I'd call it quits too

 

[RipCity32]

He's also in the prime of his career and could make millions more lol.

 

[elcheato]

How many millions does one man need? Certainly not in his prime either.

 

[RipCity32]

Holy shit never mind. I had no idea he was already 32.

 

[Pugz]

hes on the decline. if i was a star athlete and just won a championship and could walk away like that, i would.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'd say he was on the decline but did you see him in the playoffs? Dude is a stud.

 

[bosoxlover12]

It's just him gaining leverage

 

[RipCity32]

Leverage to do what lol. He could very easily sign with another team or retire lol.

 

[Pugz]
