This guy hasn't been wrong very often when it comes to the Rams - still its a "looks like"

Yeah you're right lol. We should be talkin SUPER BOWL weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

 

[Mojo Ram]

In before all the "Whoa that's Waaaay too much money for this guy!!!!!!" Wtf!"


1. FA is expensive
2. Big NFL contracts rarely kill a teams ability to be competitive

Anquan Boldin coming back for another season. Do we dare?

Anquan Boldin coming back for another season. Do we dare?

Absolutely.
A driven, veteran presence is clearly lacking in this young wr group.
BBring in a seasoned vet to push these guys off their asses?
Sign me up.
I'm sick of our WR group underachieving.

The problem is that most veteran players on the verge of retiring want to finish up with a team that has a possibility of getting to the Big Dance. Unfortunately the Rams don't qualify for that presently.

I'd personally finish up in a city I'd like to walk off into the sunset at. If Anquan feels the same way, maybe he takes a shot with us.

He could find his beach here...

I care less than i did the last few times he was available, but i still care. Every year in the offseason ppl say he's done but every year he puts up numbers and contributes. If he was to settle for a reasonable offer i'd kick the tires. His experience alone is invaluable.

Now...I'm a tad biased because he's been my favorite non-Ram WR for a long time. His game embodies football.
One of the toughest players to ever suit up and IMO the toughest WR the game has seen in decades.

I kinda suspect this kid's contract is going to be a fairly hefty one. Multiple teams have interest including the Broncos. Obviously I hope its on the more reasonable side, I just get the feeling thatity if they don't want him leaving LA tonight, they will be paying up.

He is an unknown commodity to me. Wade knows him so that helps. Is it over pay because of free agency? I imagine some. He has a total of two (2) starts in his career.

How much does he get? Just wondering what you think.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Get it done, Rams!

Nothing just yet…

Would love to have Boldin on a one year deal, he brings size and obviously a ton of experience.

I don't believe Detroit qualified either, but he signed with them. If we can't get Gordon, Boldin wouldn't be a bad option imo.

I'm not a cap guy by any stretch - so I won't embarrass myself with a guess - I just suspect that he is going to get starting CB money - and won't come any cheaper than a guy like Mo Claiborne who has many more starts under his belt and more name recognition. Competition drives prices up and we aren't the only team calling on this guy.

Love the guy. I know they had Fitz, but still amazed the Cards let him walk.

I'm thinking $16 - $20mil for 4 years. jmo.
