Arizona Cardinals Traded Anquan Boldin to Baltimore ravens draft Picks

The Arizona Cardinals have traded receiver Anquan Boldin to the Baltimore Ravens for third and fourth round draft picks.

Boldin, who was entering the final year of his contract, agreed to a three-year, $25 million extension with the Ravens, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, which leaves him with four years, $28 million left on his contract. The extension includes $10 million in guaranteed money.

“The Ravens just got better,” coach John Harbaugh said. “Anquan is a significant addition for us. He fits the personality of our team with the hard-nosed, physical way he plays. We love the way he competes. Our fans will enjoy watching him compete and his teammates will be excited to have him with us.”

The Ravens also received Arizona’s fifth-round draft pick in 2010.

We love the way he competes. Our fans will enjoy watching him compete and his teammates will be excited to have him with us.”

Baltimore’s top priority this offseason was to bolster a wide receiving corps that last season featured Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton, Kelley Washington and Demetrius Williams. Mason was the lone receiver with 1,000 yards, and running back Ray Rice led the team with 78 receptions.
