Cardinals trade Boldin to Ravens
After months on end of trade speculation, the Arizona Cardinals have finally dealt disgruntled wide receiver Anquan Boldin to the Baltimore Ravens for a third and fourth-round draft pick.
In addition, the Cardinals also sent their fifth-round draft pick to the Ravens in a deal that was just one of many signaling major changes to the Arizona franchise.
Boldin has been unhappy at the team’s unwillingness to give him a big contract, but the trade to the Ravens instantly came with a four-year, $24 million deal.
Boldin said that he was excited all day when he received word that the two teams were in serious talks and wished that all of this had happened last year.
Without Boldin, the Cardinals will probably look to become a more run-oriented team. They will also make Steve Breaston their No. 2 receiver and move Early Doucet into the slot.
