Here is an update from the insider over on the OH:

That is a good point, but on the flip side Demaryius Thomas/Gilyard/LaFell are not proven 80-100-catch, 1000-1400-yard, around 8 TD guys. Boldin's ankle injury was a fluke injury, nothing chronic. Like I stated, his value is probably a second round pick, maybe a little less. For that, I think it would be worth the risk.

I would guess that Boldin's value has dropped since last year because of injuries, he is in the last year of his deal (less leverage), and will turn 30 in the middle of this upcoming season. I would think a first rounder would be way too much. Possibly he could be acquired for a second rounder? Or maybe even for a Willis McGahee-type deal, a third this year and a third next year? I think either of those would be fair. Remember, we acquired TO back in 2004 when he was 30-years old for a second rounder (he would turn 31 that season, so he was a year older than Boldin is this year). I would guess that would be the most we would offer.

I would be very happy with a WR corp of Boldin, Mason, Stallworth, Clayton, and a high round rookie (could be a tight-end like Gresham). Give us a receiver that can make plays like this and we will be just fine (fast forward to :45): http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d814c59c2/WK-13-Anquan-Boldin-highlights

If it turns out to be true I'll take all the credit for it.

I believe we also had the most road playoff wins?

Two posts from very reputable posters over on the Ravens board at the OH: Here is a quote from a guy who is an insider, his info is usually pretty legit. Take all this with a grain of salt, of course. But if we got Boldin for the right price, I would be extremely happy.

I am scared to ask what you think about Ray Lewis.

I would without a doubt give Mason two years.

I am just saying, this guy over on the OH is legit in his info. He says TO is definitely in play. Take it for what it is worth.

Dont laugh crav but there is an insider over on the Ravens OH board that says TO is definitely a target. He also said that Mason is going to test free agency and is not a lock to come back to us.

That is probably a good comparison, except Stallworth has had much better production than Johnson. Lets just hope that Stallworth has better hands than Pat. I still say Pat would have been a solid receiver had he had any hands, but then again, so would have Travis Taylor...

You are now putting words in my mouth, I never said it was an excusable or acceptable behavior. I completely agree with you, it is something one should NEVER do under any circumstance, but drunk driving is not as black and white as you think. Force, you said you do not drink, so I am not sure if you would understand completely. I would say most drunk driving accidents do not happen when someone who is completely tanked decides to get behind the wheel. I would say a lot of these accidents happen with drivers who honestly think and feel they are OK and sober, at that point it not a right or wrong I am a bad person-type decision like you put it. Stallworth woke up from a five hour sleep and decided to go get breakfast. I seriously doubt he thought "I'm drunk" when he got behind the wheel. I am not trying to justify what he did, I am just saying he is not a malicious killer like you state. Would I feel different if he had killed someone I loved? Probably. But Stallworth is not a bad person. I actually see this as a Kelly Washington-type move. It will not be a huge one, but he will contribute in some way. Ozzie said they worked out Stallworth, and he still has the physical skills that made him a high round draft pick. Defense cannot take that type of world class speed lightly. Get him into workouts, get him in shape, and have him work with Joe. Stallworth took a year off of football so he should be relatively fresh. The big thing with Stallworth is that, like many fast guys, he is too fast for his own good. He has been pleagued with hamstring problems his whole career, but lets hope the time off and starting workouts early will prepare him for a 16 game season.

You would be pretty naive if you did not recognize how many people make the mistake of driving when they shouldn't be on a daily basis. Whether it be sleepy, drunk, buzzed, tipsy, whatever.

You are right, there is a difference between someone with bad character and what happened to Stallworth. Someone with bad character is habitually bad, thus they are constantly vulnerable to getting in trouble. Stallworth is a guy with a clean past who made one bad mistake. Like BMoreHon said, many of us have made this exact same mistake, we just got lucky. Stallworth is not a habitually bad person. And how is he a bona-fide killer? He killing was not malicious in any way. It is not like he is going to drive drunk and purposely kill someone again. He paid his price to society.

This is a low risk, potentially high reward-type of deal. As long as Stallworth is in shape and still has his world class speed, this could be a really good move. I wouldn't expect huge numbers from him, but if he can connect with Joe for a big play or two a game, his speed will keep defenses honest. More than anything this move tells me that Ozzie is serious about finding talent at wide receiver and is exploring all routes to get that job done.
