Kingphisher Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 "Could Ravens Send Players, Not Picks, For Boldin? Posted by Mike Florio on April 20, 2009, 3:29 p.m. The Baltimore Ravens are one of the teams that have been linked to receiver Anquan Boldin, whom the Cardinals apparently are ready to trade. But at a time when the prevailing report is that the Cardinals want a first-round pick and a third-round pick for Boldin, the Ravens might be able to sweeten the pot with some proven veterans. Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun suggests that tight end Todd Heap and running back Willis McGahee could be shipped to Arizona along with a draft pick in exchange for Boldin. As Preston points out, both players are in coach John Harbaugh’s doghouse. And that unlikely playoff appearance and postseason run in his first year on the job has given Harbaugh considerable juice. Heap is under contract for three more years, at base salaries of $3.6 million, $4 million, and $4.6 million. McGahee is under contract through 2013, but the “phony” years start soon. His base salary for 2009 is $620,000. Next year, it shoots to $3.6 million. In 2011, McGahee’s base will move to $6 million. In 2012, it goes to $6.5 million. In the final year, McGahee is due to earn $7.2 million. Heap would be replaced by L.J. Smith, and McGahee would be replaced by Le’Ron McClain and Ray Rice." This would make the Baltimore Browns a scary thing to behold. Hope it doesn't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mz. Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 It's not gonna happen, so rest easy. The Ravens will take an 11M cap hit of they trade or release McGahee. In McGahee's case, that means an acceleration of about $11.5 million, according to the salary figures I have. McGahee is signed through 2013 and is due to make $620,000 in salary this year. Subtract that and the Ravens are still looking at a cap hit of $11 million to trade McGahee. And that doesn't count what it might take to sign Boldin to an extension. via here.

cambridgeho Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 just a hunch, Boldin will be an Eagle by Saturday because they have the most to offer. That is going to make the Gmen trade for BE and the deal will be very sweet. Man that Idea of Raji and Rogers on the field at the same time sounds so badass.
