Remember this statement from Anquan Boldin four years ago?
“I think for me — I know for me — Baltimore is the only place I want to play,” he told ProFootballTalk.com. “It’s the last place that I will play. For me, I’ll retire a Raven, I’m not putting on any other uniform. We have a saying, once a Raven, always a Raven, and I'll always be a Raven."
It didn’t turn out that way because the Ravens ended up trading Boldin, who reportedly wouldn’t take a pay cut in 2013, in a cap-saving move to the San Francisco 49ers, where he played for three years.
