Still a good player but not a superstar.

He won't really try hard IMO, he said just a couple weeks ago that if not Baltimore he would retire.

But then, that's why they make the big bucks.

I agree. That's too much

This guy does his damage on a consistent basis though. And I think he'll be glad to answer this question - "what have you done for me lately?"

Unless he drops off immediately, this is one hell of a steal for the Niners.

Bruce Allen tearing in the NFL for their bogus salary cap bullsh*T.

Adrian Peterson ‏@AdrianPeterson on Harvin trade:
The best all around player I ever seen or you'll ever see! Goes to Seattle! I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. Several times!!!

At least we all know that Peterson will recover quickly from getting kicked in the stomach.

How many times in the playoffs did Boldin motion to the slot, Flacco drops back and throws a sh*tty pass to the end zone; Boldin goes up over a linebacker or safety, completely punking them in the process, for the touchdown? They dont sniff the superbowl trophy this year without Boldin. He was a key on offense.

Playoffs this year: 22 receptions, 380 yards 4 TDs = beast

He was going to be cut because he wouldn't take a 2mil pay cut with the Ravens. He's not going to be reducing his contract either in San Fran so the Ravens basically got a 6th rounder for nothing.

In fact, the reason Joe looked so good was because his WRs were simplying beasting. That 4th and inches catch by Boldin was incredible. Boldin and the other Ravens WRs pretty much carried Flacco to that Super Bowl.

Ironic how he "Mossed" a few defenders in the playoffs and Superbowl, now that he's going to the same team as Moss.

I just don't think the Ravens played their cards right. They didn't even really give themselves a chance to shop Boldin to other teams.

Eh, things change quickly. He's going from the SB champs to a team that likely has a better shot than his old team to win it all next year. One thing I would never question about him is his heart or effort. He always brings it.

Maybe the change of scenery will do him good. Carroll's "rah rah" approach will either resonate with Harvin or drive him off the deep end. I don't see a middle ground.

Washington just legalized weed, right? Percy Harvin can benefit from medical marijuana, right? I feel like the NFLPA would back him if he failed a test, because of his legit seizure causing headaches, and the NFL would be a tough position of suspending someone for what he can/will blame for medical reasons. He also has the money to fight it, and more importantly big enough game checks to not not fight it.

The league is definitely not on board when it comes to marijuana.
