Baltimore Ravens -- Anquan Boldin

It seems as if the Baltimore Ravens have been searching for a wide receiver to complement Derrick Mason in their offense for ... well, an eternity. That search appared to end this offseason when they picked up Anquan Boldin from the Arizona Cardinals for a pair of mid-round picks, and then signed him to a three-year, $25 million extension. Going all the way back to 2002, the Ravens have had just two wide receivers catch more than 60 passes in a single season (Mason five times five times and Mark Clayton twice ). Sixty catches is a bad season for Boldin, as he's failed to reach that mark just once in his seven-year career (the 2004 season when he played just 10 games for the Cardinals), and has caught no fewer than 83 balls in four of the past five years. Joe Flacco is entering this third year as an NFL quarterback and has no shortage of weapons at his disposal -- should be good news for a team that was already in the top 10 in scoring a season ago.

One by one, from every corner of the locker room, Kansas City Chiefs players repeated the same line when the topic turned to teammate Dwayne Bowe: "No comment."

Anquan Boldin lined up mostly in the slot when the Ravens went to their three-wide formation at last weekend’s minicamp. Derrick Mason and Donte Stallworth were the wideouts. [...]

In his first practice with the Baltimore Ravens, Boldin performed very much as he did during his first seven years in the NFL. The talented wide receiver repeatedly sliced through the middle of the defense, worked his way open and latched onto a pass before turning downfield.

Impacts: It's nothing Boldin hadn't done before with the Arizona Cardinals. This time, though, the No. 81 on his chest and back was surrounded by a rich shade of purple. "I look good in it,'' Boldin declared Friday, moments after the opening session of Baltimore's three-day mandatory minicamp

OWINGS MILLS – Anquan Boldin accelerated past a flailing young cornerback before cutting sharply toward the middle of the field, a destination that represents familiar territory for the Pro Bowl wide receiver.

Extending his hands after gaining plenty of separation on a short post pattern, Boldin caught a Joe Flacco spiral in stride for a long completion.

The Baltimore Ravens moved second-year pro Michael Oher to left tackle and Jared Gaither to right tackle at Friday's minicamp practice and envision it as a permanent move for the 2010 season, according to a team source.

After waiting a day to make a pick in the NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens went on the defensive Friday night.

The Baltimore Ravens signed wide receiver Demetrius Williams and offensive lineman Tony Moll to their original round $1.176 million restricted free agent tenders.

Williams is a former Ravens fourth-round pick and Moll was selected in the fifth round by the Green Bay Packers.

Williams, who ranks behind Anquan Boldin, Derrick Mason, Donte’ Stallworth and Mark Clayton on the depth chart, caught eight passes for 142 yards last season.

Brandon Marshall receives a four-year, $47.5M extension after the Broncos ship him to Miami for two second-round draft picks.

Brandon Marshall receives a four-year, $47.5M extension after the Broncos ship him to Miami for two second-round draft picks.

Steve Breaston has signed his tender to remain with the Cardinals, according to the team's official site.

Our View: The one-year deal will put Breaston in line to earn $2.396 million next season. On one hand, he'll be without the sure-fired Kurt Warner tossing him the ball anymore, but he'll also move from No. 3 to No. 2 on the depth chart with Anquan Boldin having left town for Baltimore. Breaston should see plenty of single coverage with Larry Fitzgerald demanding plenty of double teams.

According to the Ravens official site, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron stated that receivers Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason are his “1A and 1B” wideouts.

Our View: Boldin will likely own the number-one ranking all by himself once the season gets going and his addition to the club certainly gives young Joe Flacco a boost. Cameron added that Donte Stallworth will compete with Mark Clayton for the Ravens’ third receiver spot.

After twice reaching outside the organization to enhance their receiving corps, the Baltimore Ravens secured one of their own Wednesday night: two-time Pro Bowl pick Derrick Mason.

Filed under: Ravens, NFL Free Agency

The Baltimore Ravens dove right into the offseason last week, addressing their top need by acquiring a new passing-game weapon for franchise quarterback Joe Flacco.

Getting back a reliable old one, though, was a bonus.

Derrick Mason, the 14-year veteran and Baltimore's top wideout the last five seasons, re-signed with the club Wednesday night, bolstering a receiving corps that added Anquan Boldin via trade from Arizona last week and signed Donte Stallworth before the start of free agency. Mason's deal was for two years, with terms undisclosed.

Mason topped Baltimore's wideouts last season with 73 catches for 1,028 yards and seven touchdowns. The 36-year-old was said to be listening to offers from other teams (Miami and New England reportedly were interested), but also seriously pondering retirement.
